A blocky, modular sans with squared counters, uniform stroke weight, and sharply chamfered corners that carve the shapes into crisp, right-angled segments. Curves are largely replaced by stepped or faceted joins, producing rectangular bowls and angular diagonals (notably in V/W/X) that feel engineered rather than drawn. Proportions are wide and low, with compact lowercase forms and a distinctly geometric rhythm; several glyphs use open apertures and cut-in notches that read as stencil-like interruptions. Numerals and capitals follow the same grid-driven logic, emphasizing straight horizontals/verticals and tight, rectangular interior spaces.
Best suited for display typography where its angular construction can read clearly: game titles and HUD/UI elements, sci-fi and tech-themed branding, posters, and punchy logotypes. It can also work for short labels and headings on packaging or equipment-style graphics where a modular, engineered look is desired.
The overall tone is techno and game-like, evoking arcade UI lettering, retro-futurist hardware labels, and industrial signage. Its rigid geometry and square negative spaces give it a cold, machine-made personality that feels assertive and controlled.
The font appears designed to translate a grid-based, machine-cut aesthetic into a clean sans framework, prioritizing bold silhouette recognition and a futuristic, system-like texture in headlines. Its chamfered corners and squared counters suggest an intention to feel technical and retro-digital while remaining coherent in longer display lines.
The design leans heavily on a pixel/grid sensibility without being strictly pixelated, using chamfers and stepped diagonals to maintain legibility at larger display sizes. The sample text shows strong horizontal emphasis and a consistent, mechanical texture across mixed-case settings.
