A compact, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and sharp 45° cuts, with squared bowls and mostly closed, boxy counters. Corners are frequently chamfered rather than rounded, producing a crisp, machined silhouette and a strong pixel-adjacent rhythm. Curves are minimized into angular segments (notably in S, C, G, and 2–5), and several forms use distinctive cut-ins and notches that create a quasi-stencil feel without fully breaking strokes. The lowercase follows the same modular construction, with simplified, blocky forms and small internal apertures that emphasize the font’s dense, graphic color in text.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction and dense texture can work as a graphic element—such as headlines, posters, game titles, and tech-forward branding. It also fits short UI labels, on-screen overlays, and product markings where a mechanical, modular tone is desired; for extended reading, larger sizes and generous spacing will help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic—evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade cabinets, and industrial labeling. Its hard angles and squared counters read as engineered and utilitarian, with a deliberate retro-digital edge that feels action-oriented and game-like rather than neutral.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, modular ‘tech’ voice using a strictly geometric, chamfered construction and squared counters that stay consistent across cases and numerals. Its letterforms prioritize a distinctive, machine-cut silhouette and high impact in short phrases over conventional text ergonomics.
In longer lines, the small apertures and tight, blocky interiors can make word shapes look uniform, which reinforces a strong display personality. Numerals and capitals share the same architectural logic, helping headings and UI-style callouts feel consistent and systematized.
