A chunky, geometric sans with a pixel-like, rectilinear construction. Strokes are consistently heavy and mostly monolinear, with corners cut to hard angles and occasional stepped joins that give forms a machined look. Counters are predominantly square or rectangular, and many glyphs rely on straight segments with minimal curvature, creating a tight, modular rhythm. Proportions skew compact in the bowls with a tall lowercase presence, while capitals feel sturdy and poster-ready with simplified, engineered silhouettes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and bold branding. It also fits game UI, sci‑fi/tech interface motifs, and packaging or labels where a rugged, modular tone is desirable. At very small sizes the angular details may visually densify, so it tends to perform best from medium to large display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its blocky geometry reads as confident and no-nonsense, with a nostalgic digital edge that feels both retro and tech-forward.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, engineered visual language into a heavy, legible display sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a techno-industrial personality over smooth, humanist curves.
The stepped diagonals in letters like K, M, N, V, W, X and Z reinforce a grid-driven aesthetic, while squared apertures and counters in letters such as O, P and e amplify the constructed feel. Numerals match the same hard-edged logic, supporting a cohesive display texture across alphanumerics.
