A geometric outline face built from monoline double-stroked contours that read like a narrow rectangular tube. Letterforms are predominantly squared and angular, with chamfered corners and occasional diagonal joins that add a slightly mechanical rhythm. Counters are open and boxy, curves are largely rationalized into straight segments, and terminals tend to end in crisp right angles. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, giving the set a utilitarian, modular feel while maintaining consistent stroke thickness and outline gap.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, branding, posters, and packaging where the outlined construction can stay clean and intentional. It also fits interface and entertainment contexts—game titles, menus, and sci‑fi themed graphics—where a geometric, digital voice is desirable. For long-form copy, it benefits from larger sizes and comfortable tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is futuristic and game-adjacent, evoking retro computer displays, arcade cabinets, and technical labeling. Its hollow construction and rectilinear geometry create a crisp, synthetic personality that feels engineered rather than handwritten or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctly digital, retro-futurist look through squared geometry and a continuous outline stroke, prioritizing visual character and theme over traditional text neutrality.
The outline structure is prominent at text sizes, producing a light, airy color on the page; it will read clearest when given generous size and contrast against the background. Diagonal cuts and stepped joins introduce a slightly industrial, circuit-like texture that becomes more noticeable in longer lines.
