A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms and sharp angles, with largely uniform stroke thickness and minimal curvature. Counters are boxy and often rectangular, creating a compact, modular texture, while terminals and joins stay crisp and mechanical. Several glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and notches (notably in diagonals and joints), giving a slightly stencil-like construction and a distinctly engineered rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product marks, and bold labels where its squared counters and notched detailing can remain clear. It can also work for game UI, tech-themed titles, and event graphics, especially at medium to large sizes where the angular interior spaces don’t fill in.
The overall tone feels industrial and game-adjacent, with a retro-digital, arcade signage energy. Its strict geometry and abrupt cuts read assertive and utilitarian, leaning more toward display impact than neutrality or softness.
The design intent appears to be a strong, modular display face that evokes engineered lettering—mixing strict rectangular structure with purposeful cutaways to create a distinctive, industrial identity.
Capitals appear especially rigid and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same squared logic, producing a consistent, monoline, modular feel. The numerals match the same box-counter vocabulary, reinforcing a cohesive, systemized look in running text.
