A rectilinear sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly modular, squared construction. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing boxy counters (notably in O, D, and 0) and crisp, angular joins. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many glyphs, with tall, narrow forms and generous internal spacing; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and steep, while horizontals and verticals stay rigidly orthogonal. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and the overall rhythm is consistent and grid-like, favoring clarity of silhouette over conventional roundness.
Best suited to display settings where its angular personality and modular rhythm can read as intentional: headlines, branding marks, packaging accents, game titles, and interface labels. It can also work for short blocks of text in tech-forward layouts, but its squared bowls and tight, engineered shapes are most effective at larger sizes where details and counters stay open.
The font reads as technical and futuristic, with a digital sign/console character and an industrial, engineered tone. Its sharp geometry and squared bowls evoke retro-computing and sci‑fi interface aesthetics rather than humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric grid into a practical sans for modern, technology-coded visuals—prioritizing crisp edges, consistent stroke logic, and strong silhouettes that reproduce well in digital and environmental contexts.
Lowercase forms lean toward simplified, constructed shapes that echo the uppercase geometry, reinforcing a unified, systematized feel. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with straight-sided forms and minimal curvature, helping maintain a cohesive, display-oriented texture across mixed text.
