A compact, geometric sans with a distinctly modular construction. Letterforms are built from thick, uniform strokes and squared curves, producing rounded-rectangle counters and crisp, straight terminals. Proportions are tall and tight, with compact apertures and a rhythm that alternates between straight verticals and blocky bowls. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase in structure, with simplified shapes, short extenders, and single-storey constructions that emphasize a schematic, engineered look.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, packaging, and short callouts where its compact, blocky shapes can act as a graphic element. It also fits signage and UI labeling when a technical, industrial voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and techno, with a retro-futuristic, signage-like authority. Its square geometry and dense texture read as purposeful and mechanical, suggesting control panels, wayfinding, or system labeling rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint, using modular, squared geometry to create a distinctive, system-like voice. It prioritizes bold silhouette and consistent construction over open, text-oriented readability.
Numerals and caps show consistent squarish rounding and enclosed counters, giving the set a uniform, stamped feel. The design’s tight internal spaces and angular joins create strong presence at display sizes, while the compact apertures can make long passages feel heavy if set too small.
