A squared, slab-serif design built from straight strokes and right angles, with occasional quarter-round corners that soften the rectangles without losing the grid-like construction. Strokes are consistently linear and even, ending in flat, square terminals that read like small slabs at corners and stroke ends. Counters tend toward boxy forms, and joins are abrupt and architectural, producing a crisp rhythm in text. Proportions vary per glyph, giving the set a slightly mechanical, constructed cadence rather than a uniform, geometric sameness.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and branding that benefits from a constructed, tech-forward voice. It can also work for UI labels, in-game menus, and interface motifs where a retro terminal or industrial schematic aesthetic is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is retro-digital and utilitarian, evoking early computer terminals, arcade-era interfaces, and engineered signage. Its squared serifs and modular construction lend an industrial, technical feel, while the slightly rounded moments keep it from feeling overly harsh.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with a modular, square-built drawing approach, creating a typeface that feels engineered and screen-era influenced. Its consistent stroke behavior and rectilinear counters suggest an emphasis on clarity, structure, and a distinctive retro-technical personality.
The font stays highly rectilinear across both cases, with distinctive square counters and step-like curves that translate well at display sizes. In running text the strong horizontals and slab accents create a steady baseline presence and a structured, schematic look.
