A rectilinear, modular display face built from squared strokes and crisp 90° corners, with frequent open counters and deliberate gaps that create a stenciled, segmented feel. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered or squared forms, producing boxy bowls and geometric terminals throughout. Stroke treatment alternates between solid and outlined constructions across glyphs, adding an intentionally uneven rhythm while keeping a consistent gridlike skeleton and upright posture.
Best suited for short display settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, game UI, and sci-fi interface styling where its segmented geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a constructed, arcade-technical voice, but is less ideal for long body copy.
The font conveys a playful, machine-made tone that reads as retro-futurist and slightly mischievous. Its blocky geometry and segmented details evoke arcade screens, sci-fi interfaces, and DIY techno aesthetics, giving text an experimental, wacky character without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a modular, grid-based construction, using gaps and mixed fill/outline forms to create novelty and motion. The goal seems to be a distinctive, tech-leaning display texture that feels experimental while remaining structurally consistent across the set.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the cut-ins, open corners, and mixed solid/outline decisions register as stylistic texture rather than missing parts. The digit set continues the square, modular logic with simplified, angular silhouettes that match the alphabet’s constructed feel.
