A wide, heavy display face built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms with chamfered corners and frequent octagonal curves. Strokes read as solid blocks that are visually split by a narrow internal stripe, giving a layered, dimensional feel and emphasizing the counters. Terminals are blunt and geometric, with consistent corner treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a tight, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic as the uppercase, yielding a sturdy, uniform texture at text sizes and a strong graphic presence when scaled up.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, badges, packaging, and game or arcade-themed graphics. It also works well for short UI labels or title treatments where a futuristic, mechanical look is desired and the inline detailing can remain legible.
The font projects a bold, competitive tone with a distinctly retro-futurist edge—part sports lettering, part arcade/tech hardware. Its interior striping and hard geometry add a sense of motion and engineered precision, making it feel punchy, confident, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to combine a rugged geometric skeleton with a carved interior accent to add depth and distinction. Its wide stance and consistent chamfered construction suggest a focus on high-impact branding and energetic display typography rather than continuous reading.
The inline carving creates high internal contrast between black mass and white channels, which can shimmer or fill in at small sizes and in dense settings. The broad proportions and squared curves give it excellent impact in short words, while the decorative interior detailing makes it most effective when given breathing room.
