A compact, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and right angles, with squared counters and consistent, monolinear weight. Curves are largely avoided; bowls and rounded forms resolve into boxy, geometric shapes, while diagonals appear sparingly in characters like K, X, and V. Terminals are hard and clean, and several glyphs use open, C-like constructions (notably for D/O/Q and some lowercase forms), giving the set a segmented, almost stencil-like feel. The rhythm is tight and engineered, with a slightly modular, pixel-adjacent construction that stays crisp in display sizes.
Well-suited to short headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand marks that want a technical or retro-futurist edge. It also works for UI labels, dashboards, and environmental graphics where crisp, geometric letterforms help create a structured, engineered atmosphere.
The overall tone is technical and machine-made, evoking control panels, signage, and retro digital interfaces. Its squared geometry and restrained detailing create an industrial, no-nonsense voice with a subtle arcade/early-computing nostalgia.
This design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, modular sans voice—prioritizing sharp geometry and a constructed feel over conventional humanist readability. The open, segmented shapes and squared counters suggest a deliberate nod to digital-era display lettering while remaining clean and systematic for contemporary graphic use.
Distinctive letterforms include an angular, peaked treatment on V/W and a strongly geometric approach to rounded letters, which can increase stylistic character but also makes some shapes feel intentionally unconventional. Numerals are similarly box-driven and consistent, supporting a cohesive, system-like texture in mixed alphanumerics.
