A square, modular sans built from straight strokes and hard 90° corners, with occasional diagonal cuts for joins and terminals. Counters are predominantly rectangular, and many curves are implied through stepped geometry rather than true round forms. The overall color is dense and even, with compact apertures and a slightly mechanical rhythm; proportions vary a bit from glyph to glyph, giving the set a constructed, display-oriented feel. Numerals and capitals are especially boxy, while the lowercase keeps the same rectilinear logic with simplified bowls and short, blocky terminals.
Best suited to display sizes where the stepped geometry and squared counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, and tech or gaming interface graphics. It can also work for short labels, signage-style callouts, and packaging accents where a futuristic, industrial voice is desired.
The font reads as digital and engineered, evoking retro computing, arcade interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its sharp geometry and squared counters create a no-nonsense, tech-forward tone that feels synthetic rather than humanist or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel/grid sensibility into a clean, scalable sans, prioritizing geometric consistency and a digital-industrial personality over conventional text readability.
Several letters use distinctive cut-ins and notches (notably in forms like G, S, and some diagonals), which adds character but also increases the risk of confusion at small sizes. The punctuation and small details (such as dots) follow the same squared, minimal construction, reinforcing the grid-based aesthetic.
