A geometric sans built from squared, monoline strokes with clipped corners and occasional step-like notches that suggest faceted construction. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and softened by rounded outer radii, producing boxy counters and rectangular bowls. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, while select joins and crossbars introduce small inset cuts that add a mechanical rhythm. Uppercase forms feel compact and constructed, while the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey structure and a steady, utilitarian cadence across words.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, posters, and short brand statements where its constructed geometry can read clearly and set a technological tone. It also works well for UI titles, game/arcade styling, and packaging or signage that benefits from a sturdy, schematic look.
The overall tone reads as futuristic and engineered, with a videogame/console sensibility and a controlled, industrial confidence. The repeated squared geometry and deliberate notching give it a digital, UI-like attitude that feels modern, technical, and slightly retro-tech.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, contemporary techno voice by replacing conventional curves with planar, squared forms and small engineered cut-ins. Its consistent monoline structure and modular detailing aim for clarity, recognizability, and a distinctly digital-industrial personality.
Many glyphs emphasize squarish counters and consistent stroke behavior, creating strong patterning at display sizes. The numerals and capitals have a distinctly modular silhouette, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text reinforce a clean, screen-friendly rhythm rather than a calligraphic one.
