A monoline, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with many bowls and curves resolved into squared or octagonal turns. Stems are consistently thin and even, and terminals tend to be flat-cut with occasional notched joins and inset counters (notably in forms like B, R, 8, and 9). Proportions run compact and condensed, with tall ascenders/descenders and a slightly mechanical rhythm; some glyphs introduce distinctive constructions such as a pointed-bottom V/W, a diagonal-slashed zero, and an open, squared G. Overall spacing appears tight but orderly, producing a crisp, grid-like texture in text.
Well-suited for headlines, titles, and poster typography where its angular construction can set a technological mood. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and on-screen graphics for games or sci-fi interfaces, especially for short phrases, acronyms, and numeric readouts.
The font projects a technical, sci-fi tone—precise, engineered, and slightly arcade-like. Its hard angles and modular turns read as digital and schematic, lending an assertive, modernist edge with a retro-futurist flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, grid-driven aesthetic into a clean sans wordshape, emphasizing sharp geometry over calligraphic nuance. Its consistent stroke weight and squared turns suggest a goal of conveying a futuristic, engineered voice while remaining structured and readable in display settings.
Legibility is strongest at display and larger UI sizes where the squared counters and notched details remain clear; at small sizes, the thin strokes and intricate joins may visually simplify. The distinctive numeral set (including the slashed 0) and the angular uppercase add strong character for identifiers and short strings.
