A geometric sans built from squared forms and faceted, planar curves, with consistent stroke width and softened corners. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, and curved letters (like C, G, O, S) resolve into straight segments rather than true arcs. Terminals are blunt and uniform, giving a modular, engineered rhythm; punctuation-like details such as the i/j dots appear squared, reinforcing the systemized construction. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with clear, open shapes and crisp interior apertures.
Works well for interface text, control panels, captions, and other compact labeling where a systematic, technical voice is desired. It also suits display applications—posters, game/arcade graphics, sci‑fi branding, and packaging—where its faceted geometry can carry a strong, contemporary-industrial tone.
The overall tone is technical and machine-made, evoking digital hardware labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and classic arcade or terminal aesthetics. Its blocky geometry reads confident and utilitarian, with a restrained retro-futurist flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans into a modular, faceted geometry that stays readable while projecting a distinctly technical, fabricated character. The consistent construction and squared detailing suggest a focus on uniformity and a programmable, device-oriented aesthetic.
Diagonal joins are handled with chamfered transitions that keep joins clean and avoid sharp spikes. The uppercase set feels particularly squared and stable, while the lowercase maintains the same constructed logic with simple, legible forms and minimal calligraphic modulation.
