A geometric sans built from straight strokes and hard 90° corners, with squared bowls and rectangular counters. Curves are largely eliminated in favor of chamfered joins and open, segmented constructions (notably in C, G, S, and several numerals), producing a modular, almost circuit-like rhythm. Stroke weight is even throughout, terminals are blunt, and spacing feels intentionally roomy, emphasizing legibility at display sizes while keeping a mechanical, engineered texture across words and lines.
Best suited for display typography where its angular construction can read cleanly: headlines, posters, tech or gaming branding, product marks, and UI/title treatments. It can work for short passages in larger sizes, but its distinctive segmented shapes are likely to dominate at small text sizes or in dense settings.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, evoking digital interfaces, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling. Its rigid geometry and cut-in apertures give it an assertive, utilitarian personality with a retro-tech edge rather than a neutral corporate feel.
The design appears intended to translate a rectilinear, modular system into a sans-serif alphabet, prioritizing a cohesive geometric logic over traditional calligraphic curves. The consistent stroke treatment and engineered apertures suggest a goal of creating a recognizable techno voice that remains structured and readable in bold display applications.
Distinctive details include a boxy, open-tailed Q, a squared O/0 structure with clear rectilinear counters, and numerals that echo the same segmented, right-angled logic (especially 2, 3, 5, and 9). Lowercase forms retain the same constructed approach, with simplified bowls and angular shoulders that keep the texture consistent in continuous text.
