A sharply geometric, square-built sans with monoline strokes and predominantly rectilinear construction. Forms are assembled from straight segments with crisp right angles and occasional chamfered corners, creating a modular, grid-like rhythm. Counters tend to be rectangular and tightly controlled, with wide apertures in letters like C and G and a distinctly boxy, engineered feel across the set. Curves are largely avoided in favor of hard edges, and diagonals (as in K, N, V, W, X) read as brisk, cut-in strokes rather than smooth transitions.
Best suited to display settings where a crisp, machine-made look is desirable—interface labels, game or arcade-inspired graphics, sci‑fi themed posters, and tech-forward branding. It can also work for short editorial headings or packaging callouts where geometric rigidity is a feature rather than a drawback.
The overall tone feels digital and utilitarian, evoking terminal typography, arcade UI, or sci‑fi labeling. Its rigid geometry and squared curves project a controlled, technical personality with a slight retro-computing edge.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, digital aesthetic into a readable sans, prioritizing modular construction, sharp corners, and consistent stroke logic to create a distinctly technical voice.
In text, the compact interior spaces and squared counters create a dense, high-contrast silhouette against the page, especially in letters with stacked horizontals (E, F) and closed bowls (B, 8). The numerals follow the same modular logic, and the punctuation shown matches the straight-edged, no-nonsense construction.
