A geometric, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with an overall square footprint and monoline construction. Many forms rely on right angles and segmented strokes, producing boxy counters (notably in O/o and D) and simplified curves that read as squared geometry rather than round bowls. Terminals are flat and abrupt, joins are crisp, and diagonals appear selectively (e.g., V/W/X) as straight, engineered cuts. Spacing and widths vary by letter, with compact forms alongside wider, more open constructions, giving the line a slightly mechanical rhythm rather than a strictly uniform cadence.
Best suited for display use where its geometric quirks are an asset: headlines, posters, logos, product branding, game titles, and tech-themed UI labels or dashboards. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but its angular construction and segmented details are most effective when given room to show.
The tone is distinctly digital and techno, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade-era display typography, and schematic labeling. Its rigid geometry and squared curves feel systematic and constructed, projecting precision and an intentional, synthetic character.
The design appears aimed at delivering a constructed, screen-native look using a minimal, straight-stroke vocabulary and squared-off curves. The emphasis on modular shapes and crisp terminals suggests an intention to communicate technology, precision, and a forward-looking, engineered aesthetic.
Distinctive letterforms lean on modular logic: the uppercase reads as squared and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same angular language with simplified bowls and open, rectangular counters. Numerals follow the same boxy, segmented approach, reinforcing an instrumentation feel that stays consistent across the set.
