A heavy, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with minimal curvature and a strongly modular construction. Counters are generally squared-off and often small, giving the face a dense, blocky silhouette and a crisp pixel-adjacent rhythm without being strictly grid-pixel. Terminals are flat and abrupt, diagonals are used sparingly and feel engineered, and several forms use notches and cut-ins that create a quasi-stencil, slot-like detail. Proportions lean compact with broad caps and a sturdy lowercase that keeps clear, simplified shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and short UI strings where the angular construction can read as a stylistic asset. It works particularly well for game interfaces, tech branding, packaging callouts, and signage-like labels that benefit from a rigid, engineered voice.
The overall tone reads technical and machine-made, evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi panels, and industrial labeling. Its sharp geometry and tight counters add a controlled, assertive feel that leans more futuristic than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, industrial sans with a modular, constructed feel—prioritizing bold, high-impact shapes and a distinctive geometric texture over conventional text neutrality.
At text sizes the dark color and reduced interior space can make long passages feel dense, while at larger sizes the stepped geometry and distinctive cut-ins become a defining stylistic feature. Numerals and capitals share the same squared construction, supporting a consistent, display-forward texture.
