A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms and sharp chamfered corners. Strokes are uniform and blocky with frequent right angles, while internal counters are small, squared, and often inset like cutouts. Many glyphs incorporate deliberate breaks and slot-like apertures (notably in E/e, S/s, and some numerals), giving a modular, near-stencil construction. The rhythm is compact and mechanical, with squared bowls, flat terminals, and minimal curvature; diagonals appear as hard-edged wedges rather than smooth joins.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, branding marks, and bold packaging panels. The modular cutouts and compact forms also work well for game/UI screens, tech-themed graphics, and display text where a futuristic or industrial voice is desired. For long passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the small counters and internal breaks remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-like, evoking retro arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its rigid geometry and cutout details feel tactical and engineered, projecting a confident, no‑nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive techno display voice by combining square geometry with intentional negative-space cuts. It prioritizes strong silhouette, modular consistency, and an engineered feel over conventional text neutrality.
Uppercase letters read like simplified geometric icons, while lowercase maintains the same blocky logic with slightly more distinctive silhouettes (e.g., single-storey a and g, squared i/j with dot blocks). The aggressive corner chamfers and interior slots can create strong texture in paragraphs, making spacing and line breaks visually prominent.
