A rectilinear sans with strongly squared bowls and predominantly straight strokes, punctuated by sharp 45° corner cuts. The letterforms feel modular and stencil-adjacent, with small notches and step-like terminals that create an engineered rhythm. Counters are boxy and often narrow, and several glyphs use abrupt joints and hard corners rather than curves, giving the design a crisp, constructed texture. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall silhouette stays compact and block-forward with pronounced interior geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, and logotypes where its angular construction can define a brand voice. It also fits on-screen contexts like game UI, sci‑fi interface graphics, and technical-themed titles, especially at medium to large sizes where the geometric details remain clear.
The font projects a distinctly digital, machine-made attitude—reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi interface, and industrial labeling aesthetics. Its sharp geometry and cornered detailing add a slightly aggressive, tactical tone while still reading as clean and controlled. Overall it feels modern, technical, and purpose-built.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, digital-industrial geometry into a display-friendly sans that stays legible while signaling a strong tech aesthetic. Its squared counters, chamfered corners, and notched terminals suggest a focus on creating a distinctive, system-like texture for branding and titles rather than neutral text color.
Diagonal chamfers recur across capitals and numerals, helping avoid fully square outer corners and adding motion to otherwise rigid forms. Lowercase characters echo the same modular logic, with simplified joins and squared counters that keep texture consistent in longer lines. The design’s distinctive notches and stepped terminals become more apparent at larger sizes, where the constructed detailing reads as intentional styling rather than noise.
