A block-constructed sans with crisp, rectilinear geometry and predominantly 90° turns. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals and frequent open counters created by gaps and notches, giving many glyphs a segmented, modular feel. Proportions skew broad, and spacing reads slightly irregular by design, contributing to a mechanical rhythm. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with simplified forms (notably the single-storey a and the compact, squared bowls) and occasional stepped details on curves such as in v and w.
Best suited for display typography: game titles, arcade or retro-tech branding, UI mockups, posters, and short punchy headlines. It can also work for logos and packaging where a constructed, digital-industrial voice is intentional, while long-form reading is likely better reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is distinctly retro-digital, evoking early computer graphics, arcade UI lettering, and sci‑fi control-panel labeling. Its squared silhouettes and cut-in apertures feel utilitarian and technical, with a hint of playful game aesthetic rather than corporate neutrality.
The font appears designed to translate a pixel-grid or hardware-signage sensibility into a clean vector-like system, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a modular build over continuous curves. Its notched counters and segmented strokes suggest an aim for a distinctive techno identity that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on deliberate breaks and interior cutouts for character definition, which increases visual texture in text but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The numeral set is strongly geometric and fits the same modular system, making it suitable for interface-like compositions and display settings where a pixel/terminal flavor is desired.
