A heavy, squared sans with rigid right-angle construction and consistent stroke thickness. Counters and apertures are largely rectangular, with frequent notch cuts and step-like joints that create a modular, machined rhythm. Corners are predominantly sharp, while select diagonals appear as clipped angles (notably in V/W/X forms), reinforcing a hard-edged geometric texture. Spacing reads compact and dense in text, with short cross-strokes and enclosed forms that keep the overall silhouette chunky and uniform.
Best suited for display applications where its geometric punch and distinctive cut-in detailing can be appreciated—titles, posters, esports or gaming overlays, sci-fi themed interfaces, and bold brand marks. In longer text it will read as intentionally stylized and dense, working most effectively in short bursts such as labels, menus, and callouts.
The font projects a futuristic, game-like tone with a mechanical, engineered feel. Its pixel-adjacent geometry and cut-in details suggest control panels, arcade UI, and dystopian sci-fi branding rather than neutral editorial typography. The overall mood is assertive and synthetic, with a crisp, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, futuristic sans built from a modular, square system, prioritizing a strong silhouette and a controlled, engineered texture. The notches and segmented joins add character and differentiation while keeping the overall construction consistent and robust for bold display settings.
Several glyphs use internal cutouts and inset corners that feel reminiscent of stencil or segmented display logic, helping differentiate similar shapes while maintaining a cohesive grid-based aesthetic. The strong rectangular counters and minimal curvature make the design especially striking at larger sizes, where the notch details become a key part of the visual identity.
