A rectilinear sans built from uniform, heavy strokes and predominantly squared geometry. Counters are boxy and often near-rectangular, with frequent 45° chamfered corners that break up right angles and add a machined feel. Curves are minimized; rounded forms like O are rendered as squared bowls, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are drawn as crisp straight segments. Proportions read compact and block-like, with short apertures and tight interior space that emphasize a solid, stencil-free silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its blocky geometry can read clearly at medium-to-large sizes: headlines, posters, packaging, and tech-themed branding. It also fits on-screen use such as game UI, dashboards, and titles where a digital, constructed look is desired.
The overall tone is mechanical and digital, evoking interface lettering, sci‑fi labeling, and retro arcade aesthetics. Its rigid construction and hard corners communicate precision and toughness rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, engineered shape language into an all-purpose sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes, repeatable angles, and a distinctly digital/industrial character for contemporary display typography.
Distinctive details include a squared, notched Q tail, angular joins in K and R, and a simplified, modular approach to numerals that keeps them consistent with the all-caps geometry. Spacing in the sample text appears even, with a steady rhythm driven by straight stems and squared counters.
