A rectilinear sans built from straight, monoline strokes with squared corners and frequent open apertures. Letterforms lean heavily on boxy, geometric construction, mixing full rectangular bowls with deliberate gaps that create a segmented, modular rhythm. Curves are largely absent; diagonals appear selectively (notably in forms like K, V, W, X, Y, Z), and counters tend to be squarish and roomy. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a constructed, schematic texture in text while keeping a consistent stroke thickness and baseline alignment.
Best suited to display settings where its geometric construction can be appreciated—headlines, logos, packaging, posters, title cards, and tech-themed UI labels. It works especially well for short phrases, product names, and numbering where a crisp, futuristic flavor is desired.
The overall tone is distinctly digital and engineered, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade-era tech, and industrial labeling. Its sharp angles and intentionally simplified joins read as mechanical and systematic rather than humanist or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a square-grid, modular aesthetic into a readable sans, prioritizing sharp geometry, consistent stroke logic, and a distinctly techno voice. The controlled apertures and simplified shapes suggest an aim for high-impact, system-like typography for contemporary and sci‑fi applications.
Several characters use stencil-like breaks and open corners, which increases the sense of modular assembly and can also help differentiate similar shapes at display sizes. The numerals and capitals maintain the same squared, architectural logic, giving headings and short strings a strong, graphic presence.
