A compact, angular sans built from straight strokes and squared counters, with corners that feel deliberately cut rather than rounded. The letterforms are tall and space-efficient, using a consistent stroke thickness and minimal curvature, which gives the design a rigid, engineered rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and orthogonal, while diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are sharp and tightly drawn. Counters tend to be rectangular and slightly offset in a few glyphs, creating a subtly irregular, hand-cut or modular construction feel while maintaining overall consistency.
Best suited to short text where its angular construction can read as a graphic feature: headlines, poster titles, logo wordmarks, packaging, and industrial-style labels. It can also work for UI or display typography in game, sci‑fi, or tech-themed projects, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the squared counters stay clear.
The tone is assertive and mechanical, with a retro-tech flavor that evokes industrial labeling, arcade-era graphics, or sci‑fi interface typography. Its squared geometry and dense presence make it feel utilitarian and tough rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining monoline uniformity with squared, modular shapes to create an industrial/tech display voice. The slight irregularities in structure suggest a deliberate, constructed aesthetic—more like cut vinyl, stencil, or pixel-adjacent geometry than a conventional neutral sans.
The glyph set shows purposeful quirks—some bowls and apertures are asymmetrically notched or inset—which adds character and distinguishes it from purely geometric grotesks. The numerals and uppercase are especially blocky and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic for a cohesive texture in text.
