A monoline, pixel-built sans with squared terminals and quantized curves. Letterforms are constructed from blocky strokes with small step transitions on bowls and diagonals, producing a slightly jagged, coarse edge at display sizes. Proportions are straightforward and compact, with simple geometry and minimal detailing; diagonals (like in K, V, W, X, Y) read as stair-stepped rather than smooth. Numerals follow the same modular construction and maintain consistent stroke thickness across the set.
Well-suited to pixel-art adjacent UI, in-game menus, HUD elements, and retro-themed branding where a grid-aligned, digital texture is desirable. It also works for compact labels, counters, and scoreboard-style numerals, and for headings that want a vintage computer/terminal flavor.
The overall tone is retro-digital and utilitarian, evoking early computer interfaces and arcade-era graphics. Its deliberate roughness and grid-fit construction give it a pragmatic, technical character with a lightly gritty, lo-fi texture.
The design appears intended to mimic classic bitmap lettering: modular strokes, stepped curves, and simplified structure optimized for grid-based rendering. It prioritizes a consistent pixel rhythm and clear, no-nonsense forms over smooth outlines or high-detail refinement.
In text, the stepped curves remain prominent on round letters (C, G, O, Q) and the rhythm becomes visibly pixel-quantized, especially in smaller counters and joins. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, keeping a uniform bitmap cadence.
