A geometric sans with extended proportions and a strongly constructed, modular feel. Strokes are mostly straight with crisp joins, but corners are frequently softened into rounded terminals, creating a hybrid of squared geometry and gentle radiusing. Many letters use open apertures and “C”-like constructions (notably in forms such as E, S, and 2/3), while bowls and counters tend toward squarish ovals with flattened sides. The rhythm is wide and stable, with consistent cap height and a clean, engineered baseline; numerals and capitals share the same squared, panel-like structure, and several shapes suggest segmented or cut-in details rather than fully closed forms.
Best suited to short text where its extended width and engineered details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, product branding, and technology-oriented packaging. It also fits UI labels or game/film titling where a futuristic, industrial texture is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone reads as modern and synthetic—akin to interface lettering, sci‑fi titling, or industrial labeling. Its wide stance and squared counters convey solidity and machinery, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling overly harsh. The styling leans toward futuristic display usage rather than neutral body copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, hardware-inspired sans that remains clean and legible while adding distinctive, segmented geometry. Its construction balances strict, squared forms with rounded corner relief to create a bold, contemporary display voice.
Diagonal strokes (as in V, W, X, Y) are sharp and dynamic, contrasting with the rounded treatment found in many curves and terminals. The lowercase set follows the same constructed logic as the capitals, maintaining a consistent technical voice; the single-story a and the simplified, open forms reinforce the utilitarian, system-like aesthetic.
