A blocky, geometric sans with squarish proportions and softened corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear in feel at a glance, but with visible internal thinning and cut-in notches that create contrasted moments in bowls and joins. Counters tend to be rectangular or slot-like, and many glyphs show deliberate incisions (e.g., stepped terminals, small cutouts, and occasional stencil-like breaks) that produce a modular, constructed rhythm. The lowercase maintains a tall x-height and compact extenders, while the numerals and caps keep a sturdy, almost grid-fitted stance, favoring straight sides, flat terminals, and squared curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, logos/wordmarks, packaging callouts, and title treatments where its angular rhythm and notched detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for UI or game-styled title screens and badges when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and mechanical, with a distinctly techno/industrial flavor. Its notched details and squared counters add a game-like, retro-futurist personality that reads confident and slightly playful rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a modular, industrial geometry, combining squared forms with purposeful cutouts to create a distinctive, tech-forward voice while staying broadly sans in construction.
The dense weight and tight interior apertures make the face most comfortable at display sizes, where the cut-in details and internal contrast remain clear. Diacritics appear as simplified bars/dots that match the font’s squared, engineered aesthetic, reinforcing the constructed look.
