A rectilinear sans built from thin, even strokes with a squared, modular construction. Curves are largely minimized in favor of right angles and chamfer-like corners, giving many forms a boxed silhouette. Proportions are strongly condensed with tall ascenders/descenders and a compact overall footprint, while counters stay open and mostly rectangular. Joins and terminals are clean and abrupt, and the overall rhythm feels engineered and grid-aligned rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its condensed geometry can feel intentional—interfaces, control-panel style labeling, sci‑fi or tech branding, and poster headlines. It can also work for packaging or wayfinding accents when a precise, engineered look is desired, while longer text benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is crisp and technical with a distinctly retro-digital feel, reminiscent of early computer, arcade, and schematic aesthetics. Its narrow, angular forms read as precise and mechanical, lending an efficient, futuristic voice. The consistent line work and modular geometry create a cool, controlled personality.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, digital-industrial vocabulary into a clean sans alphabet: minimal stroke contrast, squared construction, and compact widths for efficient, high-impact display use. It prioritizes a coherent modular system and a distinctive techno character over conventional humanist warmth.
Distinctive squared bowls and rectangular counters give letters like O/D/Q a sign-like clarity, while diagonals in A/K/V/W/X introduce sharp, architectural tension. The numerals follow the same boxy logic, emphasizing legibility through simple, linear structure rather than optical softness.
