A compact bitmap-style sans with quantized curves and squared terminals, built on a visible pixel grid. Strokes are monoline and mostly orthogonal, with stepped diagonals and rounded forms rendered as faceted octagons. Counters are small and tightly controlled, giving gives the letters a dense, sturdy texture, while spacing remains even and legible at typical pixel sizes. Uppercase forms are broad and simplified; lowercase is similarly constructed with minimal modulation and clear, geometric silhouettes.
Well-suited for pixel-art games, HUDs, menus, and interface labels where a grid-aligned, bitmap texture is desirable. It also works for retro-themed posters, packaging accents, and headings where the stepped construction can be a stylistic feature rather than a limitation.
The overall tone is retro-digital and game-like, evoking classic CRT interfaces, console menus, and early computer UI typography. Its crisp, blocky rhythm reads as functional and technical, but the stepped curves add a friendly, playful character.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, screen-era bitmap voice with consistent grid logic, balancing recognizable letterforms with a distinctly pixelated finish for digital and nostalgic contexts.
Numerals are bold and highly geometric, with the 0 and 8 particularly boxy and symmetrical. Rounded letters (C, G, O, Q) maintain consistent pixel cornering, and diagonals (K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, Z) use clear staircase joins that emphasize the bitmap aesthetic.
