A modular, rectilinear sans with sharp corners and frequent chamfered cuts. Strokes are built from heavy verticals paired with hairline horizontals and thin interior bars, producing a pronounced contrast and a distinctly engineered rhythm. Counters tend to be boxy and partially open or segmented, with several glyphs using notches and breaks that read as stencil-like joins. Proportions are generally extended, with wide uppercase forms and compact, squared lowercase that maintains a consistent, grid-based construction.
Best suited to display contexts where its angular construction and contrasted strokes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and brand marks. It also fits sci‑fi or industrial-themed interfaces and packaging, particularly when used at larger sizes or with generous tracking to keep the hairline details clear.
The overall tone feels futuristic and technical, like signage from a terminal interface or industrial control panel. The broken joins and razor-thin crossbars add a coded, slightly aggressive edge that reads as purposeful and machine-made rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-and-slab, techno aesthetic into a readable sans, using segmentation and chamfered terminals to suggest modular hardware or digital instrumentation. Its consistent geometric logic prioritizes characterful texture and thematic impact over neutral, everyday text color.
In text, the mix of heavy uprights and very thin cross strokes creates a distinctive sparkle that can feel busy at small sizes, especially where hairlines align across a line of text. Many shapes favor straight diagonals and clipped terminals, reinforcing a rigid, systematized texture with strong presence in short bursts.
