A compact, square-built sans with straight-sided strokes and sharply cut corners. The forms are largely rectilinear, with rounded letters (like O/C) rendered as squared counters and clipped curves, creating a mechanical, grid-aligned feel. Strokes stay consistently heavy, with tight apertures and strong vertical emphasis; crossbars and terminals are flat and abrupt. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic as the uppercase, with simplified bowls and minimal modulation, producing a dense, modular rhythm across text.
Best suited to display roles where its rigid, geometric voice can carry impact—posters, logotypes, product marks, and packaging with an industrial or futuristic theme. It can work for short UI labels or game/interface elements where a blocky, pixel-adjacent look is desired, but the dense counters suggest avoiding extended small-size text.
The overall tone is industrial and techno-forward, reminiscent of arcade UI, sci‑fi interfaces, and stencil-free machinery labeling. Its hard angles and compressed stance read assertive and no-nonsense, with a distinctly retro-digital character.
The design appears intended to translate a squared, engineered geometry into a readable sans, prioritizing bold presence and a modular, system-like consistency. It aims for a distinctive constructed personality that evokes digital hardware and industrial signage rather than neutrality.
Counters are generally rectangular and compact, which increases darkness and reduces internal whitespace at smaller sizes. Several glyphs use distinctive, constructed joins and cut-ins that add character but also make the texture more insistent in longer passages.
