A modular, block-constructed sans with squared contours and crisp right-angle turns throughout. Strokes are built from chunky rectilinear segments with frequent cut-ins and notches that create an almost stencil-like, segmented feel, while counters tend to be boxy and simplified. Curves are largely replaced by stepped geometry, and terminals are flat, producing a clean, mechanical texture. Spacing reads fairly open for a display face, with distinct silhouettes that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited for display settings such as posters, title screens, game branding, and tech-oriented headlines where a digital, constructed voice is desired. It can also work for interface labels or on-screen callouts when used at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking to preserve the segmented details.
The overall tone is retro-digital and game-adjacent, evoking arcade graphics, sci-fi interfaces, and utilitarian machine labeling. Its hard corners and deliberate gaps give it a technical, engineered personality that feels assertive and synthetic rather than friendly or literary.
The font appears intended to translate pixel and modular construction into a cohesive display sans, prioritizing a futuristic, machine-made impression and distinctive silhouettes. Its notches and squared counters suggest a goal of creating character and rhythm through deliberate segmentation rather than through curves or ornament.
The design leans on recognizable pixel-like construction without being confined to a strict grid, mixing solid blocks with occasional interior apertures and clipped joins. The sample text shows strong headline presence and clear word shapes at larger sizes, while the stepped details and tight interior spaces suggest it will read best when given enough size and breathing room.
