A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply squared curves, chamfered corners, and frequent notches that carve into the counters and terminals. Strokes stay consistent in thickness, forming tight rectangular apertures and compact interior spaces, while diagonals appear as clipped, angular joins rather than smooth curves. The overall silhouette is geometric and modular, with a rigid baseline and a rhythm driven by straight segments, stepped cuts, and occasional wedge-like diagonals in letters such as V/W/X/Y.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as display headlines, logos, poster titles, game/interface UI labels, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for numerals in scoreboards or tech-themed graphics where a compact, high-contrast silhouette is desirable, but it is less comfortable for extended reading at small sizes due to tight counters and dense black shapes.
The tone reads technological and industrial, with a retro arcade/computer-console flavor. Its chunky, machined geometry feels forceful and utilitarian, suggesting signage, sci‑fi interfaces, and game UI lettering more than conventional text typography.
The design appears intended to translate a rigid, modular geometry into a distinctive display sans, emphasizing cut corners and notched details to evoke a mechanical, digital aesthetic. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent constructed language across letters and numerals, aiming for immediacy and character in bold settings.
Counters are small and often squared, which increases impact but makes fine-detail separation depend on size and contrast. The distinctive notches and cut-ins create a stencil-like texture across words, producing a strong pattern in headlines but a busy texture in longer passages.
