A sharply geometric sans built from straight strokes and right angles, with squared curves reduced to faceted corners and rectangular counters. Strokes are uniform and mechanically consistent, producing a modular, grid-fit feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Many joins and terminals end in blunt, squared cuts, and several glyphs incorporate stepped diagonals or chamfered corners to suggest curves. Proportions are compact and schematic, with simplified forms and tight interior spaces that emphasize a blocky silhouette and strong rhythm in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited to display roles where its constructed geometry can read clearly: titles, posters, branding marks, packaging accents, and tech or gaming-themed interfaces. It works well for short phrases, labels, and number-heavy treatments where a digital, modular texture is desirable, but is less ideal for long-form text.
The overall tone reads digital and utilitarian, evoking retro-computing and arcade display lettering while still feeling contemporary and engineered. Its hard edges and constructed shapes lend a technical, sci-fi flavor that can skew playful or severe depending on spacing and color.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, rectilinear aesthetic into a coherent sans alphabet—favoring simplified, engineered shapes and a consistent stroke system to deliver a futuristic/retro-digital voice for display typography.
Distinctive, highly stylized letterforms (notably angular diagonals and rectangular bowls) create strong personality but can reduce legibility at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs. The numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, pairing well with interface-like layouts and signage-style composition.
