A constructed sans built from straight strokes and crisp right angles, with squared counters and minimal curvature. Terminals are typically blunt and horizontal/vertical, while diagonals appear selectively (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z) to keep the geometry rigid. Proportions feel expansive with generous widths and open interiors; round forms (like O and 0) are rendered as squared rectangles, reinforcing a modular, grid-like logic. Lowercase follows the same rectilinear approach with simplified bowls and compact joins, and figures are similarly boxy with segmented strokes and sharp corners.
Best suited to short to medium display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated—headlines, branding marks, tech-themed posters, packaging, and interface labels. The wide stance and squared counters help it hold up in larger sizes and high-contrast applications such as signage or on-screen titles.
The overall tone is technical and forward-leaning, evoking digital interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro-futurist display typography. Its strict geometry and squared curves give it a mechanical, schematic feel that reads as deliberate and engineered rather than humanist or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to translate classic sans structures into a strict rectilinear system, emphasizing modular construction and a squared, digital aesthetic. Its forms suggest an intention to feel contemporary and technical while remaining legible in display use.
The design relies on a limited set of stroke directions, creating a consistent modular rhythm across letters and numerals. Some glyphs use distinctive cut-ins and notches (e.g., angular joins and stepped forms) that add character and help differentiate similarly shaped characters within the squared system.
