A modular, grid-built display face whose letterforms are constructed from chunky rectangular tiles separated by consistent internal gaps. Corners are often rounded, giving the otherwise blocky geometry a softened, contemporary edge. Strokes read as heavy and monolinear, while counters and apertures are created by missing blocks rather than smooth curves, producing a segmented, stencil-like texture. Proportions skew wide with a steady, mechanical rhythm; spacing appears generous enough to keep the internal cut-lines readable in words.
Best suited to display applications where the tiled segmentation can remain clear: headlines, posters, branding wordmarks, product packaging, and UI/app titles with a retro-tech flavor. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The segmented construction and tiled texture evoke digital signage, arcade interfaces, and futuristic UI lettering. Its engineered regularity feels technical and utilitarian, while the rounded corners add a friendly, game-like tone rather than a purely austere one.
The design appears intended to translate classic pixel/block construction into a bold, modular display style, using consistent internal cut-lines to create a distinctive texture and a techno-industrial voice while maintaining legible, recognizable silhouettes.
The repeated internal breaks create strong patterning across lines of text, which becomes a defining visual motif in paragraphs and can read like a built-in "scanline" or "window" effect. Because the interior segmentation is high-frequency detail, the font’s character is most pronounced at medium to large sizes where the gaps stay crisp.
