A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms and straight strokes with sharp corners and occasional chamfered cuts. Counters are mostly rectangular, apertures are tight, and terminals tend to end in flat, horizontal or vertical cuts, producing a compact, modular silhouette. The rhythm is dense and mechanical, with minimal stroke modulation and a deliberate, grid-like construction that keeps letterforms sturdy at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, esports or sports-style branding, game UI, and tech-oriented packaging where strong silhouette and impact matter most. It can also work for short labels or signage-style copy, but the tight counters and dense texture make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-like, evoking retro digital interfaces, arcade graphics, and industrial labeling. Its hard edges and compressed interior spaces give it a punchy, no-nonsense voice that reads as technical and futuristic rather than friendly or humanist.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modular, engineered look—prioritizing strong shapes, rigid geometry, and a consistent techno-industrial aesthetic for display typography.
Several glyphs lean on distinctive cut-ins and angled joins (notably in diagonals like K, V, W, X, Y), reinforcing a fabricated, stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking strokes. The lowercase keeps a similarly squared construction, helping maintain a consistent texture when mixing cases, while the numerals follow the same boxy, display-oriented logic.
