A rectilinear sans with monoline strokes and an overtly modular construction. Counters and bowls tend toward squared, boxy shapes, with frequent right angles and occasional diagonal cuts that create chamfered corners. Terminals are blunt and flat, and curves are minimized, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Proportions read condensed overall, with compact apertures and tight interior spaces; numerals and capitals follow the same rigid geometry for a consistent, system-like texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its angular, modular structure can read cleanly: posters, titling, packaging, wayfinding, and interface labels. It can also work for short bursts of text where a technical or industrial voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where the squared counters and distinctive cuts remain clear.
The tone is technical and utilitarian, evoking digital signage, industrial labeling, and retro computer-era graphics. Its sharp corners and boxy counters feel mechanistic and disciplined, giving headlines a controlled, schematic character. The overall impression is confident and functional rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, engineered sans with a futuristic/retro-tech flavor, prioritizing geometric consistency and a constructed, modular look. Its simplified curves and squared forms suggest a focus on systematized shapes that hold up well in graphic applications and signage-like contexts.
Several glyphs incorporate distinctive angled notches and cut-ins that act as identifying features and add a slightly futuristic edge. The strong reliance on straight segments creates a uniform “grid” feel across both uppercase and lowercase, which helps coherence but can make similar forms (especially in dense text) feel closely related.
