A monolinear, squared sans built from straight strokes and hard 90° corners, with occasional stepped diagonals that read as pixel-like notches. Curves are minimized into rectangular bowls and open counters, giving letters such as C, G, O, and Q a boxy, modular feel. Terminals are blunt and consistent, and the rhythm is tight and linear, with compact widths and a crisp, mechanical texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same rectilinear construction, maintaining uniform stroke logic and sharp interior corners.
This font suits compact interface labels, HUD-style overlays, and game UI where a crisp, digital voice is desired. It can also work for tech-forward branding, event graphics, and posters that benefit from a geometric, retro-computing aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the stepped detailing reads clearly.
The overall tone feels technical and retro-digital, evoking terminal readouts, early computer graphics, and modular signage. Its severe geometry and intentional angularity convey a functional, engineered mood rather than a humanist one.
The design appears intended to translate a grid or pixel-inspired construction into a clean, monoline sans, prioritizing sharp geometry, consistency, and a distinctly digital silhouette over conventional typographic curves.
Several glyphs incorporate small stepped joins and simplified diagonals (notably in K, W, X, and Y), reinforcing a grid-based construction. The lowercase set mirrors the uppercase’s squared logic, and the punctuation shown in the sample maintains the same straight-sided, modular character.
