A compact, blocky sans with squared counters and sharply cut corners. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and many joins resolve into crisp diagonals rather than curves, giving the alphabet a faceted, machined feel. Round letters are largely rectangularized (e.g., O/Q and numerals), and terminals often end in straight, abrupt cuts, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in lines of text. The overall drawing favors tall, condensed silhouettes, simple internal spaces, and assertive horizontal bars.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title treatments, logotypes, packaging callouts, and on-screen UI elements for games or futuristic dashboards. It also works well for labels and signage where a compact footprint and high visual impact are priorities.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a techno-industrial edge reminiscent of arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and stenciled signage. Its angular construction reads as engineered and modern, projecting a confident, slightly aggressive energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed width while maintaining a consistent, modular construction. Its squared forms and angular cuts prioritize a distinctive, machine-made identity over conventional neutrality, aiming for an attention-grabbing display voice.
Because counters are small and the shapes are highly squared, legibility improves at larger sizes where the internal spaces can open up. The distinctive geometry creates strong word-shapes and a uniform “tile-like” color, which can feel dense in long paragraphs but striking in short bursts.
