A compact, block-built sans with squared geometry and abrupt terminals. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with corners kept sharp and orthogonal, creating a pixel-like rhythm even in curved letters. Counters tend to be rectangular and tightly enclosed (notably in B, O, P, R, and 8), while forms like C, E, and F rely on stepped cut-ins rather than smooth bowls. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase structure, with simplified, boxy silhouettes and minimal differentiation between similar shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks where its blocky construction becomes a feature. It also fits on-screen contexts like game UI, arcade-inspired graphics, and tech-themed branding where a retro-digital voice is desired. At smaller sizes or in long text, the dense spacing and squared counters can reduce clarity, so generous sizing and spacing help.
The overall tone reads as retro-digital and utilitarian, reminiscent of arcade cabinets, early computer displays, and industrial labeling. Its rigid construction and compressed stance feel mechanical and assertive, giving text a punchy, engineered presence.
The font appears designed to evoke a constructed, grid-based look while remaining a sans text system with consistent weight and straightforward structure. Its stepped curves and rectangular counters suggest an intention to reference pixel and terminal-era letterforms in a clean, contemporary drawing.
The design favors strong verticals and short horizontal arms, producing a dense texture in paragraph-like settings. Diagonals are sparingly used and often appear as stepped joins (as in K, X, and Z), reinforcing the angular, modular aesthetic. Numerals follow the same squared logic, with a prominent 0 and a blocky 2/5/7 that maintain consistent weight and spacing.
