A sharply geometric display face built from rectilinear strokes with squared terminals and occasional chamfered corners. Letterforms alternate between dense, slab-like masses and narrow, open constructions, giving the set an intentionally uneven, modular rhythm. A consistent inline cut is carved through many strokes as a thin white channel, creating a stencil-like, hollowed impression within otherwise solid forms. Counters are mostly rectangular and simplified, and diagonal structure appears only where necessary (notably in V, W, X, Y, Z) with crisp, mechanical joins.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and brand marks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It can also work for game/UI-themed graphics or event collateral with a futuristic or industrial concept, but will be less comfortable for long-form reading due to its highly constructed forms and narrow internal apertures.
The overall tone feels techno and industrial, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi interface, or constructed signage aesthetics. The inline detailing adds a schematic, engineered character that reads as precise and deliberately stylized rather than neutral or text-oriented.
The design appears intended to merge heavy, blocky geometry with a distinctive inline incision to create a crafted, mechanical display voice. Its constructed proportions and simplified counters suggest a focus on striking silhouette and pattern in words rather than conventional text readability.
The alphabet shows strong reliance on verticals and horizontals, producing a rigid grid logic even when individual glyph widths vary. Spacing in running text looks intentionally tight and rhythmic, and the thin internal cutlines become a key identifying feature at larger sizes while turning into subtle texture when reduced.
