A sharply angular, modular sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, with frequent octagonal curves and chamfered terminals. Strokes are generally heavy but show deliberate contrast through narrow insets, notches, and occasional hairline-like connectors, creating a cut-out, stencil-adjacent feel. Counters tend toward rectangular or octagonal shapes, and many glyphs feature internal gaps or stepped joins that emphasize a constructed, grid-driven geometry. Proportions are compact with tight apertures and a brisk rhythm, while capitals read rigid and architectural and lowercase simplifies into boxy, single-storey forms.
Best suited to display sizes where its internal notches and chamfers remain clear: game UI and HUD styling, technology or cyber-themed branding, event posters, album art, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short bursts of text (titles, labels, menu headings), but the tight apertures and busy internal cuts make it less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic, evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial signage. Its sharp corners and engineered cut-ins give it a slightly aggressive, high-energy character that feels digital and retro-futurist at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver a constructed, machine-like sans that reads as geometric and digital, using chamfers, cut-outs, and segmented diagonals to create character while preserving a cohesive, systemized alphabet.
Distinctive diagonals appear as faceted segments rather than smooth strokes, and several letters use asymmetric cuts that add motion (notably in S/Z and some diagonally structured forms). Numerals follow the same chamfered, segmented construction, keeping the set visually consistent across alphanumerics.
