A modular, squared sans with strong rectilinear construction and frequent open corners that create a cut-out, almost stencil-like rhythm. Strokes are predominantly straight with occasional chamfered joins, producing crisp angles and a pixel-adjacent feel without being strictly grid-pixel. Counters tend toward boxy shapes, terminals are blunt, and several forms use partial outlines or breaks that introduce deliberate irregularity. The overall texture is clean and engineered, with distinctive, non-classical letter solutions that stay visually consistent across the set.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular details and corner breaks can be appreciated—titles, poster headlines, logotypes, packaging, and on-screen UI for games or tech-themed projects. It can also work for brief captions or callouts when a deliberate digital/retro-future flavor is desired.
The font reads as playful and synthetic, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade graphics, and DIY digital lettering. Its intentional quirks and corner cuts add a mischievous, experimental tone while maintaining a disciplined geometric backbone.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a digital, constructed lens—using modular strokes and intentional interruptions to create a distinctive, one-off personality. It prioritizes character and theme over neutrality, aiming for immediate visual identity in display use.
The design leans on repeated motifs—right angles, clipped corners, and strategic gaps—which help it stay cohesive despite unconventional glyph constructions. At text sizes the broken corners and narrow apertures become key identifiers, giving lines of copy a distinctive, patterned cadence.
