A heavy, angular display sans built from rigid, mostly orthogonal strokes with sharply notched corners and occasional diagonal joins. Curves are minimized into squarish bowls and rectangular counters, producing a distinctly modular silhouette across both cases. Terminals tend to end in flat cuts or pointed wedges, and several glyphs show cut-in gaps or stepped joins that create a quasi-stenciled, engineered feel. Spacing appears fairly open for such a dense design, helping preserve legibility in all-caps and short words despite the tight, boxy counters.
Best suited to display settings where its angular personality can lead: game UI, sci-fi or tech branding, event posters, album art, and punchy headlines. It can work for short bursts of copy in interface labels or packaging callouts, but the dense, squared counters may feel heavy in long paragraphs.
The overall tone is retro-digital and machine-like, evoking arcade graphics, sci-fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its sharp cuts and aggressive angles give it a tactical, high-energy character that reads as designed and technological rather than neutral or friendly.
The font appears intended to deliver a stylized, futuristic sans voice using a modular, almost pixel-adjacent construction that stays crisp at larger sizes. Its consistent use of squared bowls, notched joins, and wedge-like terminals suggests a focus on strong silhouette recognition and a distinctive techno/arcade identity.
Uppercase forms are especially squared and monolithic, while lowercase retains the same modular construction with simplified shapes (notably a single-storey a and g). Numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, with a slashed zero and strongly segmented forms that match the font’s engineered rhythm. The design’s distinctive corner notches and wedge terminals become a key identifying feature in running text.
