A tightly proportioned, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and squared curves, with frequent right-angle turns and occasional rounded corners. Strokes alternate between very heavy verticals and lighter connecting horizontals, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm and a distinctly modular construction. Counters are often boxy and closed, terminals are flat and abrupt, and several forms suggest a stencil-like logic where joins and notches are treated as structural cut-ins rather than smooth transitions. Overall spacing is compact and the shapes maintain a consistent, grid-driven texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display applications where a mechanical, geometric voice is desired—such as posters, headlines, logos, product titling, packaging, and signage. It can also work for UI accents or interface-style graphics when used at larger sizes where the angular detailing and contrast can be clearly resolved.
The font reads as mechanical and systematized, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro digital aesthetics. Its sharp geometry and stark stroke contrasts give it an assertive, utilitarian tone with a slightly arcade/tech flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a modular, engineered construction. It prioritizes visual identity and a distinctive texture—built from straight, grid-friendly parts—over neutral text readability.
In longer text the strong vertical emphasis and squared apertures produce a distinctive patterning, with some glyphs leaning toward constructed, sign-paint-like simplification rather than conventional humanist forms. The numerals match the same modular logic, appearing rigid and display-oriented with angular turns and compact bowls.
