Author's note

Monolithos 2012 by Gilles Pegel is a free techno display font with dense, broad forms cut by deep, sharp triangular gaps and repeated abrupt diagonal notches. The fractured silhouettes look architectural, coded, and deliberately severe throughout.

Its science-fiction character makes it a convincing fit for game interfaces and electronic music artwork. The same angular construction could shape technology branding, event posters, and cinematic title graphics, especially when the lettering needs to echo machinery, spacecraft, or engineered structures rather than familiar handwriting. These references will speak most directly to audiences drawn to futuristic games, experimental club culture, and stark speculative design.

Created as an experimental font for MONO2012 ID and the upcoming Typo expo in Brussels.
