A dense, block-constructed sans with squared outlines, hard corners, and uniform stroke weight. Counters are mostly rectangular and tightly enclosed, giving many letters a stencil-like, cut-out feel. The geometry favors straight segments and right angles, with occasional diagonal joins (notably in K, N, V, W, X) that stay rigid and mechanical. Proportions are compact and tall-shouldered, and the overall rhythm reads as modular and grid-driven with minimal curvature throughout.
This design is well suited to display settings where impact and a digital-industrial voice are desired, such as game UI, arcade or synth-themed posters, bold headlines, and logo wordmarks. It can also work effectively on packaging or labels that benefit from a mechanical, modular aesthetic, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The font conveys a retro-digital, arcade-like tone with an industrial edge. Its chunky, squared forms feel engineered and utilitarian, suggesting screens, machines, and game interfaces rather than traditional print. The overall impression is bold, assertive, and distinctly tech-oriented.
The letterforms appear intended to evoke a grid-based, retro-futuristic look while staying highly legible through strong silhouettes and consistent modular construction. The design prioritizes visual punch and a cohesive techno voice over subtle typographic nuance.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, with the lowercase maintaining the same squared, geometric logic rather than introducing calligraphic contrast. Numerals are similarly boxy and segmented, designed to remain consistent with the alphabet’s rectangular counters and strong silhouette.
