A condensed, monoline sans with squared, octagonal construction and consistently rounded outer corners. Strokes maintain near-uniform thickness, with frequent 45° chamfers at joins and terminals that create a modular, engineered rhythm. Counters are mostly rectangular and open, and curves are largely implied through clipped corners rather than true rounds. Uppercase forms feel rigid and boxy, while the lowercase keeps the same construction with a tall x-height and simple, single-storey shapes (notably a, g). Numerals follow the same squared system, producing a cohesive, technical set.
Best suited for short-to-medium settings where its angular construction can be appreciated: interface labels, product and tech branding, display headlines, posters, and game or sci‑fi themed graphics. It can also work for numbering systems and on-screen readouts, especially at larger sizes where the squared counters stay clear.
The overall tone is distinctly sci‑fi and machine-made, evoking control panels, electronic labeling, and retro-future interfaces. Its crisp angles and clipped corners read as precise and utilitarian, with a mildly playful arcade flavor in the more stylized diagonals and notch-like details.
The design intention appears to be a compact, futuristic sans that prioritizes a modular, manufactured look. By using chamfered corners and uniform strokes, it aims for a cohesive, systemized alphabet that feels like it belongs to devices, industrial graphics, and digital environments.
Several glyphs use distinctive geometric cues—like chamfered diagonals and clipped interior corners—that increase character but can also create similar silhouettes at smaller sizes. Spacing appears even and disciplined, reinforcing a grid-based, signage-like texture in text lines.
