A square, modular sans built from heavy rectilinear strokes with predominantly 90° corners and minimal curvature. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many glyphs use open, cut-in forms (notably in C, E, F, S, and Z) that emphasize a pixel-like, constructed feel. Proportions vary noticeably by character—some letters are wide (M, W) while others are narrow (I, l)—creating a rhythm that reads as engineered rather than calligraphic. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, with single-storey forms and short, blocky terminals; punctuation and figures follow the same rigid geometry for strong visual consistency.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its blocky geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold labels. It also fits game UI, sci-fi/tech graphics, and industrial-style packaging where a constructed, digital tone is desired. For extended reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a digital, arcade-era attitude with an assertive, mechanical presence. Its sharp angles and modular construction suggest circuitry, signage stenciling, and early computer graphics, giving text a high-impact, game-interface energy. Overall it feels functional and tough, with a distinctly retro-tech flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, digitized voice using a grid-like, rectilinear construction and simplified shapes. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and a cohesive techno aesthetic over subtle typographic nuance, aiming for immediate recognition in display contexts.
Distinctive glyph details include squared bowls, hard notches, and simplified joins that keep silhouettes crisp at display sizes. The inking is uniform and dense, while the tight internal spaces and angular diagonals can make long passages feel intense and compact, especially in smaller sizes.
