A tall, rectilinear sans with a strongly modular construction and squared curves. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but use sharp internal notches and occasional wedge-like joins that create a chiseled, high-contrast impression at corners and terminals. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, with frequent right-angle breaks that give letters a segmented, almost stencil-like rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and vertical, with a tall x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and simplified bowls; figures are similarly boxy, with straight-sided shapes and clipped diagonals.
Best suited to display settings where its modular, angular texture can be read at larger sizes—headlines, posters, title treatments, branding, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style applications when a techno/industrial voice is desired, but the tight counters and segmented detailing call for generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone feels mechanical and engineered, leaning into a retro-futurist, techno aesthetic. Its angular cuts and segmented geometry suggest instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling rather than soft, humanist warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a geometric, machine-made voice using squared forms and consistent corner notching, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and texture over neutral text readability. Its construction suggests an intention to evoke retro digital or industrial lettering while staying within a sans framework.
The design’s distinctive character comes from repeated corner cuts and internal steps that create consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Diagonals (as in K, X, Z, and 2) are rendered with flat, abrupt transitions, reinforcing a rigid, constructed look.
