A chunky, geometric display face built from squared-off strokes and tight right angles, with occasional chamfers and stepped cut-ins that create a pixel-like rhythm. Counters are predominantly rectangular and enclosed forms skew toward boxy silhouettes, giving the alphabet a modular, constructed feel. The lowercase echoes the uppercase with similarly rigid geometry and minimal curvature, producing a consistent, machined texture across words. Spacing and sidebearings read deliberately irregular, adding a slightly jostled, custom-lettered cadence in running text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and title cards where the angular construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits screen-oriented contexts like game UI, esports branding, or retro-tech graphics, especially when paired with simple supporting text.
The overall tone is playful but hard-edged, evoking arcade screens, retro-tech interfaces, and DIY sci-fi signage. Its assertive, block-built shapes feel mechanical and game-like, while the quirky notches and asymmetries keep it from reading as purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, modular display voice that blends retro digital cues with a deliberately irregular, custom-cut construction. It prioritizes visual character and graphic texture over neutral readability, aiming to make words feel like objects built from blocks.
Diagonal elements (notably in letters like K, V, W, X, Y, and Z) appear as slanted wedges rather than smooth joins, reinforcing the faceted construction. The numerals match the squared language closely, with boxy bowls and sharp terminals that maintain the same modular logic as the letters.
