A geometric, squared sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with frequent chamfered cuts that create an octagonal, modular feel. Curves are minimized into boxy counters and right-angled turns; bowls and apertures tend toward rectangles, as seen in forms like O, Q, and P. Stroke endings are crisp and often diagonally clipped, producing a slightly stencil-like rhythm and a consistent, engineered texture across caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, with simple, blocky construction and clear separation of interior counters.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can be a feature: headlines, posters, logos, and technology- or gaming-adjacent interfaces. It can also work for short labels and signage-style typography where a rigid, digital texture is desirable, though extended paragraphs may feel visually intense due to the dense, squared rhythm.
The overall tone is technical and machine-made, evoking control panels, arcade-era UI, and industrial labeling. Its sharp geometry and clipped terminals give it an assertive, futuristic voice that reads as purposeful rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, engineered aesthetic into a practical sans alphabet, emphasizing consistent modular geometry and clipped terminals for a distinctive, high-impact texture.
Letterforms lean on strong verticals and flat horizontals with minimal modulation, so word shapes look compact and grid-aligned. The lowercase maintains the same architectural language as the caps, keeping a uniform, system-like personality in continuous text.
