A compact, block-built display face with rigid vertical stems, squared curves, and monoline strokes. The letterforms are constructed from modular right angles with frequent step-like cut-ins and small rectangular counters, giving many glyphs a stencil-like, notched silhouette. Corners are predominantly sharp, terminals are flat, and bowls are reduced to boxy, inset shapes; diagonals are largely avoided in favor of vertical-and-horizontal geometry. Overall spacing and rhythm feel tight and mechanical, with deliberate irregularities across glyph widths that add a quirky, hand-assembled character while staying visually consistent.
Best suited to display settings where the angular silhouettes can be appreciated—posters, title cards, logotypes, packaging, and entertainment or game-themed graphics. It holds up well at larger sizes for punchy headlines and short phrases, where its geometric quirks become a defining visual hook.
The design reads as retro-digital and game-like, blending arcade-era pixel sensibilities with a hard, industrial edge. Its notched constructions and compressed presence create an energetic, slightly mischievous tone that feels experimental and intentionally “off-kilter” rather than purely utilitarian.
The type appears designed to deliver a distinctive, modular, techno-leaning voice—prioritizing silhouette novelty and rhythmic, notched construction over conventional text readability. The consistent right-angle system suggests an intention to evoke retro digital forms while remaining a bespoke, decorative display style.
Capitals and lowercase share a strongly unified construction, with many forms echoing each other through squared bowls and inset counters. The numerals follow the same modular logic, staying highly rectilinear and sign-like, which helps the set feel cohesive in headings and short bursts of text.
