A geometric display face built from straight segments and squared counters, with selectively rounded outer corners that soften an otherwise angular construction. Strokes tend toward monolinear behavior, but many glyphs introduce abrupt thins, small breaks, or spur-like terminals that create a deliberate uneven rhythm. Bowls and apertures are often rectangular (notably in B, D, O, P), while diagonals appear as crisp single strokes in forms like A, K, V, W, X, and Z. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably by character, reinforcing a hand-tuned, modular feel rather than a strictly uniform system.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, logo marks, packaging accents, and on-screen UI labeling in games or tech-themed interfaces. It works well when the goal is a stylized, digital voice rather than continuous reading, and it benefits from generous size and spacing to keep the distinctive notches and apertures clear.
The tone reads digital and sci‑fi, with a playful, slightly mischievous character coming from the irregular cuts and unconventional detailing. It evokes user-interface labeling, arcade/retro tech aesthetics, and experimental identity work where a bit of oddness is desirable. The crisp geometry keeps it feeling engineered, while the quirks prevent it from becoming purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a modular, near-stencil construction, mixing squared bowls with selective rounding and intentional irregularities. Its details seem crafted to signal a futuristic/experimental attitude while remaining legible enough for display use.
Several glyphs use distinctive construction details—open or partially open corners, notch-like joins, and occasional extended descenders/diagonal tails (e.g., Q, R, g, y)—which add personality but can reduce predictability at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same squared, segmented logic, with especially angular 2/3 and a simplified, boxy 0 that aligns with the rectangular counters.
