A geometric outline display face built from rounded-rectangle forms and straight segments, drawn with a consistent, very thin contour. Corners often soften into quarter-rounds while many joins remain crisp, creating a boxy-yet-friendly silhouette. Several glyphs feature small internal notches and step-like cut-ins (notably in E/F/S/t and some lowercase), giving a subtly stencil-like construction. Counters are generally generous and squarish, and the overall rhythm feels modular, with broad proportions and simplified, low-detail letterforms optimized for large sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, titles, and logotypes where the outline construction can stay crisp and legible. The retro-tech flavor makes it a natural fit for game interfaces, event graphics, packaging, and branded display applications. It can also work for short callouts or badges when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The combination of hollow outlines, rounded-square geometry, and deliberate cut-ins evokes a retro-futurist, arcade-era tone. It reads as playful and slightly mechanical, with a crafted, engineered feel rather than a formal typographic one. The light contour keeps the voice airy and graphic, leaning toward headline spectacle over text neutrality.
The design appears intended as a bold visual signifier: a modular, geometric outline alphabet with playful cut-ins that add character while keeping the system consistent. Its wide, rounded-square skeleton and minimal detailing suggest a focus on instant recognition and stylistic impact at display sizes.
Lowercase forms mirror the same modular logic as the capitals, with compact bowls and occasional stepped terminals that create distinctive silhouettes in words. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular language, maintaining consistent visual weight and corner treatment across the set. Because the design is outline-only, spacing and background contrast will strongly affect perceived color and clarity in longer lines.
