A rigid, block-constructed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and sharply chamfered corners. Glyphs are built from rectilinear segments with frequent 45° cuts, creating notched joins and clipped terminals rather than smooth curves. Counters tend toward squared shapes, and many forms use intentional cut-ins and gaps that give a semi-stenciled, modular feel. The rhythm is compact and mechanical, with strong verticals and wide, flat horizontals; rounds (like O/0) are rendered as squared frames.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, title cards, branding marks, and display typography for games or tech-themed interfaces. It also works well for labels and signage-style graphics where a mechanical, angular voice is desired, but its dense, notched detailing favors medium-to-large sizes over long reading.
The overall tone is retro-digital and utilitarian, evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial signage. Its chiseled angles and segmented construction read as engineered and machine-made, with an assertive, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to translate a digital, grid-based construction into a crisp display sans, using chamfers and strategic cutouts to add character while maintaining consistent stroke weight and a strict geometric system.
Lowercase forms largely mirror the uppercase geometry, producing a unified, all-caps-like texture in mixed-case text. Numerals are similarly squared and display-oriented, with distinctive internal cut details that help differentiate shapes at larger sizes.
