A compact, rectilinear sans with squared counters and tightly controlled geometry. Strokes are consistently heavy and uniform, with corners cut sharply and curves minimized into faceted, octagonal-like turns. Many forms rely on vertical stems and straight horizontals, producing a modular rhythm; bowls and apertures are narrow and boxy, and several joins read as notched or stepped. Proportions are condensed overall, with tall caps, short extenders, and a clean baseline presence that stays crisp in display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, titles, logos, and product or equipment labeling. It can work well for UI labels and interface-style graphics where compact width and strong pixel-like structure help maintain presence. For longer reading, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the tight apertures and angular detailing remain clear.
The letterforms evoke digital hardware, industrial labeling, and arcade-era display typography. Its hard angles and compressed stance create a no-nonsense, engineered tone that feels technical and slightly retro-futuristic rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended as a compact display sans that translates a pixel/modular sensibility into solid, high-contrast shapes for modern graphics. Its consistent, squared construction prioritizes a technical aesthetic and strong silhouette recognition over softness or traditional text comfort.
The caps dominate visually, and the lowercase follows the same squared construction, keeping case mixing consistent. Numerals and punctuation share the same block-built logic, reinforcing a signage-like, systemy texture in lines of text.
