A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight, modular strokes with squared terminals and frequent right-angle notches. Counters are small and often rectangular, giving the letters a compact, dense texture. Many glyphs show chamfered corners or cut-in corners that create a quasi-stencil, machined feel, while diagonals are simplified into stepped or angular joins. Spacing and shapes favor strong verticals and boxed silhouettes, producing a consistent, high-impact rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-contrast settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and branding moments that need a strong, technical or retro-digital flavor. It can also work for game UI, labels, and packaging where bold, modular letterforms help maintain clarity and visual punch at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage and retro digital/arcade aesthetics. Its rigid geometry and cut-in details feel mechanical and engineered, lending a punchy, commanding voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through rigid, modular construction and distinctive cut-in details, creating an engineered, display-oriented sans with a retro-tech sensibility.
Lowercase forms closely echo the uppercase construction, reinforcing a unified, all-caps-like presence in text. Numerals and punctuation match the same squared, cut-corner language, keeping the texture uniform and bold.
