A modular, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with a monoline feel and minimal curvature. Many glyphs show squared counters and open, rectangular apertures, producing a crisp, schematic rhythm. Diagonals are used sparingly and read as cut, faceted joins rather than smooth transitions, while terminals tend to end in flat, horizontal or vertical cuts. Overall spacing and proportions feel engineered and grid-aware, giving the set a consistent, constructed texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where its angular construction and grid-like rhythm can be appreciated—such as headlines, poster titles, product branding, packaging accents, and interface labels for tech-themed or game-inspired visuals. It can also work for short blocks of text when a distinctly engineered, retro-digital atmosphere is desired.
The tone is distinctly technical and machine-made, evoking digital readouts, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling. Its sharp, rectilinear forms create a cool, assertive voice that feels retro-futuristic and utilitarian rather than friendly or humanist.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a purposeful, modular aesthetic that reads as precise and technological. The consistent straight-stroke construction suggests an intent to mimic digital or plotted geometry while staying legible in contemporary layouts.
The design leans on simplified forms and occasional stencil-like breaks in bowls and joints, prioritizing a clean, plotted look over calligraphic nuance. Numerals and capitals share the same squared logic, reinforcing a cohesive, systemized presence across headings and short text.
