A squared, modular sans built from straight strokes and crisp corners, with diagonals reserved for a few key forms. Counters are mostly rectangular, and many joins resolve as hard right angles, giving the alphabet a constructed, grid-based feel. The stroke terminals are blunt and consistent, and several letters use intentional cut-ins and notches (notably in forms like S, Z, and some numerals), adding a subtle stencil flavor. Overall spacing and rhythm read compact and mechanical, with simplified curves replaced by faceted geometry.
Works best for short-form display and interface-style text where a crisp, geometric voice is desired—such as UI labels, dashboards, game menus, tech/event posters, packaging, and signage. The blocky texture is especially effective at medium to large sizes where the notches and rectangular counters remain clear.
The tone is functional and machine-made, evoking retro computing, arcade UI, and industrial labeling. Its squared architecture and notched details suggest a technical, engineered aesthetic rather than a humanist or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, geometric sans with a constructed, grid-driven personality. By minimizing curves and using squared counters and notched strokes, it aims for strong legibility with a distinctly technical, retro-digital character.
Distinctive ID cues include boxy, near-rectangular O/Q shapes, a sharply constructed S, and numerals that lean toward digital-display logic while staying typographic. The lowercase follows the same modular system, keeping the texture consistent between cases and reinforcing a disciplined, systematized look.
