A square, modular sans built from straight strokes and right angles, with occasional 45° cuts that add snap to joins and terminals. Counters are largely rectangular and the curves are translated into stepped, open forms (notably in C, G, S, and 2), giving the alphabet a constructed, grid-first feel. Stroke weight stays consistent, while glyph widths vary to suit the shapes; spacing reads compact and orderly. Uppercase forms are tall and rigid, and the lowercase echoes the same geometry with simplified bowls and compact apertures.
Best suited to display settings where crisp geometry is an asset: titles, posters, packaging accents, and screen UI labels for games, hardware, or tech-themed projects. It can work for short editorial pulls or navigation text at moderate sizes, but the tight apertures and stepped curves suggest avoiding very small body copy.
The overall tone is digital and engineered, evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and technical panel typography. Its hard corners and squared counters feel assertive and utilitarian rather than friendly, with a distinctly retro-futurist, pixel-adjacent flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, digital aesthetic into a clean vector sans, keeping strokes uniform while expressing curves through angular reductions. It prioritizes a consistent modular rhythm and strong silhouette recognition for bold, tech-forward typography.
Several glyphs emphasize distinctive, mechanical cues: pointed or notched vertices in V/W/Y, a sharply constructed R leg, and a boxy Q with a clear tail. The numerals follow the same angular logic, with stepped constructions in 2/5 and a structured, rectilinear 8.
