A sharply geometric, square-built sans with mostly uniform stroke weight and crisp right-angle turns. Counters are rectangular and often inset like cut-outs, with occasional open corners and clipped joins that create a slightly stencil-like construction. The rhythm is modular and grid-oriented, with straight-sided curves replaced by stepped or chamfered shapes, giving letters a machined, pixel-adjacent feel. Proportions read compact and sturdy, while lowercase forms are simplified and maintain strong verticals and flat terminals for a consistent, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to short-form display use such as logos, headings, packaging callouts, game or tech interfaces, and titling where its angular construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for compact labels and navigation text when ample spacing and clear size are maintained to preserve the squared counters and notched joins.
The overall tone is digital and utilitarian, evoking arcade UI, sci-fi instrumentation, and industrial labeling. Its hard corners and squared apertures feel systematic and assertive, leaning into a retro-future aesthetic rather than a neutral, humanist one.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, machine-cut visual language into a clean sans, prioritizing sharp geometry, modular consistency, and a distinctive techno voice. It emphasizes recognizability and atmosphere over conventional smoothness, aligning with digital and industrial branding needs.
Distinctive details include squared bowls and apertures, frequent use of interior “window” cutouts, and occasional asymmetrical notches that add character without introducing curves. Numerals follow the same modular logic, staying rectilinear and sign-like for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
