A geometric sans with hard, squared forms and frequent chamfered corners that create a faceted, constructed look. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with rectangular counters and cut-in notches that suggest a modular, almost stencil-like build. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments; diagonals appear as crisp wedges, and several joins show intentional clipping that adds a machined rhythm. Proportions vary by glyph, producing an irregular, engineered texture in words, while keeping consistent stroke weight and overall cap height/x-height relationships.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging that benefit from a hard-edged, technical voice. It also fits interface titles and on-screen graphics for games or sci-fi themed projects, where the angular construction reads as purposeful and futuristic. Use with generous size and spacing to keep the interior shapes and cut details clear.
The overall tone feels technical and game-like, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of arcade UI, sci-fi labeling, or industrial signage. Its deliberate cuts and blocky geometry project toughness and precision rather than softness or elegance, giving text an assertive, constructed presence.
The font appears designed to translate a modular, machine-cut aesthetic into a readable sans, emphasizing sharp geometry and repeatable corner logic. Its aim is likely to provide a distinctive display voice that signals technology, fabrication, or retro digital culture while remaining usable for short text settings.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the angular details and interior notches remain distinct; in smaller settings the tight rectangular counters and clipped terminals may visually close up. The design’s distinctive personality comes from repeated corner treatments and the consistent preference for straight edges over smooth curves, which makes lines of text feel brisk and mechanical.
