A geometric, modular sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with frequent 45° chamfers cutting into terminals and joins. Counters are predominantly rectangular, and curves are largely avoided, giving letters a blocky, engineered silhouette. Stroke endings are mostly flat and squared, while diagonals (as in K, N, V, W, X, Y, Z) are rendered with crisp, angular geometry rather than smooth transitions. The overall rhythm is tight and grid-forward, with consistent cap height and a compact, utilitarian spacing feel in the sample text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, title cards, logos, and poster typography where its angular construction can be appreciated. It also fits interface theming for games or tech-oriented visuals, as well as bold packaging or labeling that benefits from a hard-edged, industrial presence.
The design reads as techno and arcade-adjacent, with a utilitarian, machine-made tone. Its sharp cuts and rectangular counters evoke sci‑fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro digital aesthetics rather than humanist warmth. The overall impression is assertive and functional, leaning toward a constructed, hardware-like character.
The letterforms appear intentionally constructed to feel modular and precision-cut, prioritizing strong silhouette and a distinctive, technical texture over conventional sans smoothness. The design choices suggest an aim to evoke digital hardware, signage, or retro-futuristic display typography through chamfered corners and rectangular counters.
Several forms emphasize distinctive cut-ins and notched corners, creating a stenciled, faceted look that helps differentiate similar shapes (notably in E/F/G and the diagonals). Numerals follow the same squared logic, with segmented, display-like constructions that reinforce the digital/technical voice.
