A heavy, rectilinear sans built from squared bowls and sharp corners, with consistent stroke thickness and mostly closed, boxy counters. Curves are largely eliminated in favor of straight segments, producing a modular, grid-aligned feel. Many joins are cut on diagonals, and several glyphs use notched or stepped terminals that create a machined, stencil-like rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometry, with compact apertures and simplified forms, while numerals follow the same squared, mechanical construction for a highly uniform texture.
Best suited to display contexts where its geometric cuts and blocky construction can be appreciated—game titles, sci‑fi/tech branding, interface headings, packaging accents, and poster headlines. It can also work for short subheads or labels when generous sizing and spacing are available.
The overall tone is futuristic and industrial, with a video-game HUD and sci‑fi interface energy. Its sharp cuts and rigid geometry read assertive and technical, leaning toward a cold, engineered personality rather than friendly or editorial.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, machine-cut aesthetic using a minimal, straight-segment construction. Its distinctive notches and squared counters suggest an intention to evoke technology, robotics, and arcade-era futurism while maintaining a consistent, modular system across letters and numbers.
The design’s tight apertures and angular counters create a dense, high-contrast texture at smaller sizes, while the distinctive notches and diagonal cuts become a defining feature at display sizes. The sample text shows a consistent, modular rhythm that emphasizes hard edges and straight-line structure across words and lines.
