A geometric outline face built from monoline contours with rounded corners and soft, squared-off curves. The letterforms are notably extended, with wide apertures and generous horizontal spans that create a low, sleek profile. Strokes are rendered as a double-line/inline-style outline, producing a hollow interior and a consistent, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals tend to be flat or gently rounded, and the overall spacing reads open and airy, especially in rounded letters and bowls.
Best suited to display applications such as logos, titles, posters, game or tech branding, and UI/overlay graphics where the outline effect can be showcased. It works well for short bursts of text and large sizes, especially over solid backgrounds that emphasize the hollow construction. It can also add a futuristic accent to packaging, event graphics, and merchandise.
The font conveys a futuristic, tech-forward tone with a clear nod to retro sci‑fi and arcade-era aesthetics. Its outline construction keeps it light and airy, while the rounded geometry adds approachability and a slightly playful, gadget-like feel. Overall it reads as modern, synthetic, and display-oriented rather than traditional or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, extended, sci‑fi voice through a consistent outline system and rounded geometric construction. The inline-like double contour adds visual interest without relying on heavy stroke weight, aiming for a lightweight, modern display presence that feels engineered and stylized.
Distinctive inline/outlined construction makes counters and inner spaces a prominent part of the design, so contrast against the background becomes central to legibility. The wide proportions and open forms help the outline remain readable in short phrases, while the doubled contour detail becomes the main visual signature in headings.
