A condensed, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and squared curves, with consistently heavy, even-weight lines. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and bowls, shoulders, and terminals resolve into crisp right angles or chamfer-like corners rather than true curves. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with tall proportions, short crossbars, and a distinctly modular construction that keeps letterforms uniform and punchy at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, brand marks, and short bursts of text where its condensed width and strong color can create impact. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage in tech, industrial, gaming, or retro-themed contexts; for long reading, the tight counters and rigid geometry may feel dense.
The tone reads industrial and techno, with a retro digital flavor reminiscent of stencil-cut, arcade, or utilitarian signage. Its hard corners and compressed stance give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice suited to energetic or mechanical themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a deliberately constructed, modular geometry. By reducing curvature and emphasizing squared forms, it aims for a strong visual signature that feels engineered and display-forward.
Distinctive angular details—such as the faceted diagonal on the Q and the boxy, stepped joins in characters like S and G—reinforce the constructed look. Numerals follow the same squared logic, staying legible through simple, blocky silhouettes and minimal interior shaping.
