A geometric, monoline display face built from squared, rectilinear strokes with an internal inline track that creates a layered, channel-like outline effect. Corners are predominantly right-angled, with occasional chamfers and hard diagonals in forms like K, V, W, X, and Y. Counters are mostly boxy and compact, and several glyphs use inset strokes and overlapping line segments that produce a constructed, schematic feel rather than continuous pen-like curves. The lowercase follows the same modular construction, keeping single-storey, simplified forms and maintaining a consistent, engineered rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, covers, headlines, and branding marks where the internal inline structure can be appreciated. It also fits tech-oriented packaging, sci-fi or retro-futurist titles, and game/interface graphics that benefit from a constructed, schematic aesthetic.
The overall tone reads futuristic and technical, with a retro digital flavor reminiscent of circuit traces, blueprint lettering, and arcade-era sci-fi titling. Its crisp right angles and interior channel detail add a mechanical precision that feels experimental and high-tech rather than informal or humanist.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, engineered drawing language into a legible alphabet, using inlined channels and squared geometry to evoke circuitry and architectural drafting. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and thematic texture over text-face neutrality, aiming for immediate stylistic impact in short phrases.
The inline detailing is not always perfectly symmetric, which adds a slightly hand-built, plotted quality that can feel intentionally "drawn" or fabricated. Because much of the design relies on thin parallel lines and interior spacing, the texture is airy and intricate, rewarding larger sizes where the internal channels remain distinct.
