A geometric, grid-driven sans with monoline strokes and consistently squared terminals. Letterforms are built from rectilinear segments with frequent right-angle turns, producing a modular, almost pixel-like construction while remaining clean and continuous rather than dithered. Counters tend to be rectangular and tightly enclosed, with a generally tall, condensed feel and compact internal space; curves are minimized in favor of chamfered or stepped transitions. The rhythm is crisp and engineered, with clear baseline alignment and a strong emphasis on verticals and horizontals.
Best suited to display settings where its crisp modular construction can read as intentional: game and app UI, tech-forward branding, sci‑fi titles, packaging accents, and posters. It can work for short paragraphs or interface labels when sized comfortably and spaced to preserve clarity.
The overall tone reads as techno and arcade-adjacent, suggesting digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and retro-computing aesthetics. Its strict geometry and squared apertures give it a cool, mechanical personality that feels purposeful and systemized rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a rigid grid aesthetic into a legible sans, balancing a retro-digital feel with consistent stroke logic across cases and figures. Its distinctive squared geometry aims to deliver instant thematic signaling—technical, futuristic, and system-like—especially in titles and interface-style typography.
Distinctive angular detailing appears in several glyphs (notably diagonals and joins), adding character without breaking the grid logic. The numerals and uppercase forms share the same rectilinear DNA, keeping headings and mixed-case settings visually unified. In longer text, the tight counters and stepped corners create a strong texture that benefits from generous tracking and moderate sizes.
