A sharply geometric, modular sans built from straight, even-weight strokes and right-angle turns. Forms are predominantly squared with clipped corners and frequent open apertures, creating a slightly stencil-like construction in counters and joins. Curves are minimized or replaced by faceted diagonals, and diagonals are clean and mechanical rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing and rhythm feel engineered and grid-minded, with crisp terminals and consistent stroke behavior throughout.
Works well for short-to-medium display settings where a crisp, technical voice is desired—interface labels, dashboards, sci‑fi or gaming titles, and bold wayfinding-style graphics. The strong geometry can also suit logos and brand marks that want a constructed, engineered look. For longer passages, it will read best at comfortable sizes where the open corners and modular spacing remain clear.
The font conveys a futuristic, technical tone with strong associations to digital interfaces and retro arcade aesthetics. Its rigid geometry and cut-in details read as utilitarian and machine-made, lending a purposeful, industrial attitude. The overall effect is assertive and graphic, leaning more display than neutral text.
Likely designed to deliver a constructed, high-tech sans with a modular grid feel and distinctive corner cutoffs for immediate recognizability. The consistent monoline structure and squared architecture suggest an emphasis on clarity, systematized forms, and a contemporary digital/industrial personality.
Distinctive details include squared bowls and counters, angled joins on letters like K, M, N, V, W, X, and corner cutoffs that add visual bite without adding stroke contrast. The lowercase maintains the same modular logic as the uppercase, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like feel. Numerals follow the same squared construction, keeping figures legible and stylistically consistent.
