A compact, geometric sans with strongly squared counters and clipped corners that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with mostly orthogonal construction and occasional diagonals (notably in K, N, V, W, X, Y) that keep the rhythm crisp. Curves are minimized; round letters like O and Q read as squared forms with chamfered corners, and terminals end in flat, blunt cuts. Lowercase follows the same modular logic with simplified bowls and tight apertures, producing a rigid, grid-friendly texture in text.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular, modular character can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage. It also works well for UI-like graphics, titles, and themed layouts that benefit from a technical, retro-futurist voice.
The overall tone is technical and game-like, evoking arcade scoring, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its sharp corners and squared shapes feel assertive, mechanical, and slightly retro-digital, prioritizing impact over warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, machine-made aesthetic built from simple geometric primitives and consistent corner chamfers. It emphasizes uniformity and a distinctive squared rhythm to create an immediately recognizable, tech-leaning display texture.
Distinctive features include boxy, nearly rectangular forms for C/S-like shapes and a consistently chamfered treatment that suggests stencil or cut-metal construction without true breaks. Numerals are similarly squared and sturdy, maintaining the same blocky proportions and strong presence.
