A compact, heavy display sans built from squarish, modular forms with rounded outer corners and frequent rectangular counters. Strokes are predominantly monoline and orthogonal, with occasional angled joins that create notched shoulders and V-shaped terminals in letters like V/W/Y. Curves are minimized into chamfered corners, giving O/Q/0 a boxed, inset look, while several glyphs use cut-ins and internal bars that suggest a stencil-like construction. Spacing and widths vary by character, producing a rhythmic, segmented texture in text.
Best suited for short headlines, logo wordmarks, posters, and packaging where its blocky silhouette and cutout details can read clearly. It also fits on-screen use such as game UI, sci-fi titles, and interface labels where a geometric, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, evoking retro-futurist tech, arcade UI lettering, and industrial labeling. Its chunky geometry and “machined” cutouts feel playful but tough, leaning toward sci-fi and game aesthetics rather than neutral modernism.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly stylized, modular sans that reads as engineered and retro-tech, using squared bowls, inset counters, and notched joins to create a distinctive display personality.
Distinctive internal rectangles and notches can reduce readability at very small sizes but create strong recognition at display scale. The angular terminals and occasional inset counters give numerals and capitals a signage-like presence.
