A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and consistently flat terminals. Forms are constructed from chunky vertical and horizontal strokes with frequent 45° chamfered corners, giving the outlines a cut, mechanical feel. Counters are mostly rectangular and tight, with compact apertures and a generally enclosed, modular rhythm. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure with simplified, sturdy shapes and a single-storey approach where applicable, producing a uniform, grid-friendly texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and branding marks where its block geometry can read as a deliberate style. It also fits gaming and tech/interface contexts for labels, menus, and display text, especially when used at larger sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone reads assertive and utilitarian, with a distinctly digital/arcade flavor. Its angular cuts and boxed counters suggest machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro game graphics, while the dense black shapes convey strength and impact.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a bold, modular, screen-minded aesthetic using squared construction and chamfered corners for a synthetic, engineered personality. The consistent geometry prioritizes visual punch and a cohesive, system-like rhythm over delicate detail.
The design relies on consistent right angles and clipped corners rather than curves, which creates a strong, stenciled-by-machine impression. Spacing and internal openings are tight, so the face feels most confident when set with ample size or breathing room.
