A geometric, modular display face built from straight strokes, sharp corners, and occasional diagonal joins. Letterforms are primarily constructed from bold, rectilinear shapes that are visually “split” by a narrow inline channel, creating a carved, hollowed impression and pronounced light traps at joints. Proportions are compact with a notably small x-height, while caps and ascenders feel tall and rigid; counters are often squared-off or partially open, reinforcing a constructed, engineered rhythm. Terminals tend to be flat and abrupt, with consistent stroke behavior across the alphabet and numerals, producing a crisp, schematic texture in words.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, title treatments, tech branding, game/UI headers, and packaging or labels where a mechanical or futuristic voice is desired. It performs particularly well in large sizes, high-contrast color pairings, and environments where the inline carving can read clearly.
The font reads as engineered and synthetic—evoking circuitry, sci‑fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and arcade-era graphics. Its inline cut and blocky geometry add a tactical, machined tone that feels assertive and technical rather than friendly or organic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, constructed aesthetic that combines sturdy, block-like forms with an internal inline detail for a carved, high-tech finish. Its modular geometry and compact lowercase suggest a focus on impactful display typography rather than continuous reading.
The inline channel becomes a key detailing element that can visually fill in at smaller sizes or lower resolution, so the design’s character is strongest when given enough size and contrast to show the internal cuts. The modular construction yields distinctive silhouettes, especially in diagonals and multi-stroke shapes, which can be striking in short words but visually busy in long text.
