A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and crisp, orthogonal construction. Strokes are uniform and the contours are dominated by right angles, chamfered corners, and occasional triangular notches that cut into joins and terminals. Counters are compact and often rectangular, giving letters a dense, mechanical texture, while the overall rhythm stays rigid and modular across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging where a strong geometric voice is desired. It can also work for game interfaces or tech-themed graphics when used at sizes that preserve its tight counters and angular cut-ins.
The design reads assertive and engineered, evoking utilitarian signage and retro-digital display aesthetics. Its sharp notches and compact counters add a tough, game-like energy that feels modern, synthetic, and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a modular, engineered construction, combining blunt rectangular forms with distinctive notched detailing for a recognizable, industrial-futurist signature.
Uppercase forms are especially monumental and square, while lowercase keeps the same structural logic with simplified bowls and straight-sided stems. Numerals follow the same block geometry, producing a cohesive, systemized look that holds up well in short bursts and large sizes.
