A monoline, square-serif display face built from straight strokes and rounded corners, with a strong preference for flat, squared terminals and slabby feet. Counters tend to be rectangular or squared-off, and curves are treated as controlled arcs that snap into verticals and horizontals. The construction is geometric and modular, with frequent use of inset notches and cut-ins that give several letters a semi-stenciled, engineered feel. Overall spacing reads steady and structured, while letter widths vary enough to keep a natural rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, titling, logos, posters, packaging, and short calls-to-action where its angular slab detailing can read clearly. It also works well for themed interfaces, game/arcade-inspired graphics, and industrial or tech branding that benefits from a structured, fabricated voice.
The tone is mechanical and tech-forward, mixing retro computer/arcade energy with an industrial, fabricated sensibility. Its crisp right angles and squared serifs feel utilitarian and purposeful, while the rounded joins keep it from becoming cold or purely gridlike. The result is confident and slightly quirky, like signage from a futuristic workshop.
The design appears intended to deliver a square-serif display style with a modular, machined construction—combining slab-like stability with decorative cut-ins for a distinctive, futuristic-retro signature.
Distinctive cut-ins and squared bowls create high personality at headline sizes, but the same detailing can become visually busy when set too small. Numerals and capitals match the same engineered logic, with consistent stroke endings and a disciplined baseline/overshoot treatment that reinforces the font’s constructed look.
