A geometric, squared sans built from monoline strokes with rounded outside corners and frequent flat terminals. Curves are treated as softened rectangles, producing boxy bowls and open, chamfer-like apertures. The uppercase set reads slightly condensed and rigid, while the lowercase introduces more variation through simplified, single-storey forms and asymmetric joins. Counters are generally rectangular and generously open, and the numerals follow the same modular logic with segmented curves and straight-sided shapes.
Best suited to display contexts where its angular geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and tech or gaming branding. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a clean, machine-like voice is desired, while extended body copy may feel rigid due to the strong modular styling.
The overall tone feels digital and engineered—clean, efficient, and intentionally synthetic. Its squared curves and modular construction evoke sci‑fi interfaces, arcade lettering, and industrial labeling, giving text a crisp, tech-forward character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a strict, grid-based construction into a readable sans, balancing squared forms with slightly rounded corners for clarity. It aims for a contemporary, tech-oriented identity, using consistent stroke behavior and rectangular counters to create a cohesive, system-like texture across letters and figures.
Distinctive constructions include a geometric, angled-join approach on letters like M, N, V, and W, and a squared, looped figure-eight. Several glyphs use simplified strokes and open forms that prioritize a consistent grid-like rhythm over traditional calligraphic modulation.
