A heavy, squared sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with a strongly modular, stencil-like construction. Counters are mostly rectangular and often inset as small cut-ins, creating a stepped, notched rhythm in letters like S and Z and a boxy, engineered feel in D, O, P, and R. Terminals are flat and abrupt, diagonals appear sparingly and where used (K, V, W, X, Y) they read as chamfered wedges rather than smooth joins. Overall spacing and proportions favor compact forms and tight internal openings, emphasizing a dense, block-sign silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, mastheads, logo wordmarks, and branding that benefits from a technical or retro-digital voice. It can also work well for in-game UI, sci‑fi themed graphics, and product packaging where bold, high-contrast shapes need to read quickly.
The tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking retro digital interfaces, arcade title screens, and utilitarian industrial labeling. Its rigid geometry and notch details give it a slightly aggressive, sci‑fi edge while still reading as a straightforward sans in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a constructed, grid-like logic—prioritizing strong silhouettes and a distinctive notched detailing for attention-grabbing titles and graphic applications.
The uppercase set is especially uniform and architectural, while the lowercase echoes the same modular logic with simplified bowls and short, squared joins. Numerals follow the same boxy system; the 8 is rendered with stacked counters, reinforcing the pixel/terminal aesthetic. The design’s tight apertures and heavy joins suggest it will look clearest when given ample size and breathing room.
