A monoline, geometric sans built from squared-off strokes and hard right angles. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered or rectangular turns, producing boxy bowls and counters with a consistent, modular rhythm. Terminals are blunt and orthogonal, with occasional step-like joins in diagonals and notches that emphasize a constructed, grid-derived feel. Spacing and proportions vary by glyph, but the overall texture stays even due to uniform stroke weight and crisp, open counters.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting where its angular construction can read as a stylistic feature: interface labels, HUD-style overlays, game graphics, and tech-forward branding. It also works well for posters and headlines that want a retro-digital signal, while extended body text may feel rigid due to the highly geometric letterforms.
The font reads as distinctly digital and retro-tech, evoking early computer displays, arcade interfaces, and schematic labeling. Its strict geometry and deliberate angularity give it a cool, engineered tone that feels functional rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, grid-constructed sans with a deliberate digital flavor, prioritizing modular consistency and a crisp, technical silhouette over organic curves or calligraphic nuance.
Distinctive letterforms include a squared, open “C” and “G,” a boxy “O/0” with rectangular counters, and simplified diagonals that appear stepped rather than smooth. The lowercase set mirrors the uppercase’s modular construction, helping maintain a consistent, system-like voice across mixed-case text.
