A rectilinear, monolinear sans built from straight strokes and squared corners, with occasional chamfered joins. Curves are largely avoided; bowls and rounds are constructed as boxy, open rectangles, giving letters like C, G, O, and Q a squared, frame-like feel. Terminals are blunt and consistently aligned, producing a crisp, grid-driven rhythm. Proportions are condensed and vertical, with tall ascenders and narrow counters; the overall texture stays even, though some glyphs expand slightly where needed for structure and legibility.
Best suited to short text where its geometric character can lead: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging accents, and tech-themed branding. It can also work for UI labels or signage-style applications where narrow columns and a schematic look are desirable, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the open rectangular counters.
The design reads as technical and futuristic, with a retro-digital flavor reminiscent of display lettering on devices, schematics, or arcade-era graphics. Its rigid geometry and open, constructed forms feel purposeful and engineered rather than conversational.
The font appears intended to deliver a compact, engineered sans voice using a strictly rectilinear construction. Its design prioritizes a distinctive, systemized silhouette and a modern/retro-tech mood over conventional round forms.
Several glyphs use distinctive constructed details—such as open-sided forms, inset strokes, and angled spurs—that emphasize a modular, drawn-with-a-ruler aesthetic. The lowercase maintains the same architectural language as the uppercase, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like tone in text settings.
