A heavy, block-built sans with a modular, pixel-adjacent construction and crisp right-angle geometry. Forms are predominantly rectangular with frequent chamfered corners and stepped joins, creating a faceted silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be small and square, and several letters use cut-in notches and inset apertures that read like stencil breaks or mechanical slots. Stroke endings are blunt and consistent, with tight interior spacing that produces dense, high-impact word shapes, while widths vary noticeably across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos/wordmarks, game or app interface titling, and bold packaging callouts. It performs well at medium to large sizes where the angular details and inset cuts remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic, evoking arcade-era display lettering, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its sharp cuts and compact counters give it a tough, utilitarian attitude with a distinctly retro-digital flavor.
The design appears intended as a futuristic, arcade-inspired display sans that prioritizes strong silhouettes and a constructed, mechanical rhythm over traditional text comfort. Its modular cuts and squared counters suggest a deliberate move toward techno signage and digital-era branding aesthetics.
Diagonal structure is expressed through stepped segments and chiseled angles (notably in K, M, N, V, W, X), reinforcing the modular feel. Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared logic, helping the font read as a cohesive display system across alphanumerics.
