A geometric, modular sans with heavy, monoline strokes and consistent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across the alphabet. Counters are mostly rectangular, joins are crisp, and terminals are blunt, giving the design a machined, stencil-like clarity without true breaks. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure closely, with a tall, rectangular feel and simplified bowls; numerals follow the same squared construction for a uniform rhythm in mixed text.
Best suited to display sizes where the angular detailing and squared counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and logo wordmarks. It also fits interface graphics for games or tech themes, signage-style labels, and short callouts that benefit from a rigid, engineered texture.
The overall tone is unmistakably digital and engineered—evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi consoles, and industrial labeling. Its hard angles and blocky proportions read as assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-futurist edge.
The font appears designed to translate a pixel/console-era aesthetic into clean vector forms, using consistent chamfers and squared geometry to suggest hardware, circuitry, and industrial precision while remaining readable in short text.
The design relies on repeated geometric motifs (right angles and 45° chamfers) to maintain strong consistency from glyph to glyph. In paragraph settings it produces a tight, grid-like texture with prominent corners and minimal curvature, favoring a technical voice over softness.
