A sharply geometric, square-built display face with mostly monoline strokes and abrupt corner cuts. Letterforms are constructed from straight segments with occasional 45° chamfers, producing open, boxy counters (notably in O, D, and 0) and a distinctly modular rhythm. Proportions run wide with generous horizontals, while terminals often step or notch rather than end cleanly, giving a slightly irregular, engineered feel. The lowercase follows the same rectilinear logic, with simplified, schematic shapes and a single-storey a; numerals are similarly squared and technical, with angular joins and squared bowls.
Works best for logotypes, poster headlines, titles, and packaging where a retro-tech or arcade flavor is desired. It can also serve UI labels or on-screen graphics in games and sci‑fi themed projects, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the stepped details read clearly.
The overall tone is playful and synthetic—evoking arcade UI, retro computing, and sci‑fi interface lettering. Its deliberate awkwardness and notched geometry add a quirky, experimental personality that reads as “designed,” not neutral.
The design appears intended to translate pixel/tech signage sensibilities into a clean vector form—using squared structure, chamfered corners, and deliberate quirks to deliver an expressive, one-off display voice.
In text settings, the distinctive notches and chamfered corners create a strong texture that remains consistent across lines, but the idiosyncratic construction makes it better suited to shorter runs than dense, continuous reading.
