A sharply modular sans with squared counters, hard corners, and mostly monolinear strokes interrupted by frequent cut-ins and notch-like joins. The construction favors rectilinear geometry over curves, with rounded forms (like O and D) rendered as boxy outlines and open apertures. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and several letters use segmented strokes that create a subtle stencil feel while preserving strong silhouette clarity. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, giving the text a slightly mechanical rhythm rather than a strictly uniform, grid-fit texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its angular detailing and notched joins remain legible—headlines, posters, interface labels, titling, and game/tech graphics. It can work for short paragraphs in a UI or spec-sheet context, but the segmented construction and geometric rhythm are most effective in compact blocks and prominent callouts.
The font reads as tech-forward and utilitarian, with a retro-digital flavor reminiscent of arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial signage. Its squared, chopped forms project a controlled, engineered tone—more “system” and “device” than “humanist” or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, machine-made sans voice using a modular, squared drawing system—prioritizing a strong, iconic silhouette and a digital/industrial character over traditional text smoothness.
Lowercase echoes the uppercase geometry, keeping bowls and counters squared and relying on straight-sided stems and right-angle turns. Diacritics are minimal in the sample shown (a simple dot), and punctuation appears clean and blocky, matching the overall rectilinear logic.
