A sharply geometric sans with squared curves, consistent stroke thickness, and crisp right-angle terminals. Forms are constructed from straight segments and rectangular counters, producing an engineered, modular look. Diagonals appear in select letters and figures (notably A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y), while many rounded characters are deliberately squared off (C, O, Q, S, G). Overall spacing and rhythm feel grid-aligned and uniform, giving text a tidy, mechanical texture.
Well suited to interface typography, HUDs, dashboards, and other information-forward settings where a structured, gridlike rhythm supports quick scanning. It can also work for retro-tech branding, packaging accents, and short display lines where its angular personality reads clearly. For long-form reading, its strong geometry may be best used sparingly or at comfortable sizes.
The font conveys a technical, no-nonsense tone with a retro-digital flavor. Its boxy construction and rigid geometry evoke terminals, instrumentation labels, and classic game or embedded-device interfaces. The result feels functional and slightly futuristic rather than expressive or warm.
The design appears intended to translate a strict grid and engineered geometry into a contemporary sans, emphasizing uniformity and clear silhouettes. By replacing curves with squared constructions and keeping strokes consistent, it aims for a robust, system-like voice that remains readable in compact, UI-driven contexts.
Distinctive rectangular counters and notched joins create a subtle stencil-like impression in places, especially where strokes meet at interior corners. Numerals maintain the same squared logic, with angular constructions that prioritize consistency and legibility over softness.
