A compact, block-built sans with heavy, monolinear strokes and tightly controlled counters. Forms are predominantly rectangular with squared curves and frequent chamfered corners, creating a crisp, engineered silhouette. Horizontal terminals are blunt and verticals stay straight and rigid, while diagonals appear as stepped or notched joins that reinforce a pixel-like construction. The overall rhythm is dense and sturdy, with small apertures and counters that hold their shape clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and bold labels where the block geometry can read large and unmistakably. It can also work for signage and packaging that benefits from an industrial, retro-digital tone; for longer text, generous sizing and spacing will help preserve interior detail.
The face reads as utilitarian and machine-made, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor. Its hard angles and compressed presence suggest signage, equipment labeling, and arcade-era display typography, projecting toughness and no-nonsense clarity rather than softness or elegance.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using squared geometry and chamfered corners to evoke technical, industrial, and retro display aesthetics. The emphasis is on strong silhouettes and a consistent mechanical rhythm rather than softness or calligraphic nuance.
The design leans on consistent right angles and shallow chamfers, which gives letters a cut-metal feel. Round characters (like O and C) are notably squarish, and several joins introduce distinctive notches that become part of the font’s visual signature.
