A heavy, square-built sans with a modular, pixel-adjacent construction. Strokes are consistently thick and monolinear, with corners cut sharply and counters rendered as crisp rectangular voids. Many curves are substituted with faceted angles, producing octagonal or chamfered silhouettes in letters like O/C/D and similarly geometric numerals. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with short apertures, tight internal space, and a slightly mechanical rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, game and app UI, labels, and packaging where a strong geometric voice is desirable. It can also work for signage and title cards, but its dense counters and tight apertures suggest using generous size and spacing for longer passages.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, leaning toward retro-digital and arcade aesthetics while also reading as utilitarian and industrial. Its rigid geometry and squared counters convey a technical, engineered feel rather than a humanist one.
The letterforms appear intended to translate a digital/industrial geometry into a bold display sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes, rectangular counters, and consistent modular construction for immediate recognition at display sizes.
The design emphasizes closure and solidity: apertures and joins are often tightened into near-rectangular shapes, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) appear as broad wedges rather than fine strokes. The lowercase echoes the cap geometry strongly, giving text a uniform, blocky texture.
