A geometric, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and crisp 90° corners, with occasional chamfered/diagonal cuts that sharpen joins and terminals. Forms are boxy and segmented, with squared counters and narrow internal openings that emphasize a mechanical rhythm. Curves are largely replaced by faceted geometry (notably in C/G/S), and several letters use deliberate gaps or cut-ins that read as stencil-like construction. Lowercase follows the same modular logic, producing a unified, display-driven texture with tight spacing and strong, blocky silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and tech or entertainment branding. It can also work for UI labels or on-screen graphics where a futuristic, engineered aesthetic is desired, especially at larger sizes where the cut-ins and squared counters remain legible.
The overall tone is unapologetically synthetic and machine-forward, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade titles, and engineered signage. Its hard angles and segmented construction suggest precision, speed, and an electronic/industrial edge rather than warmth or neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a modular, grid-based construction into a bold display voice—prioritizing strong silhouettes, sharp geometry, and a synthetic rhythm associated with digital and industrial themes.
The design relies on distinctive apertures and notches to maintain character differentiation in a highly squared system, giving the alphabet a logo-like, emblematic feel. At text sizes the dense counters and internal cutouts become a prominent texture element, so sizing and spacing choices strongly affect clarity.
