A condensed, vertical display face built from an outlined skeleton with a consistent inner inline that creates a hollow, double-stroke look. Forms are largely geometric with squared corners softened by small radii, producing a tall, columnar rhythm and tight sidebearings. Curves (C, O, S, 0) are drawn as rounded-rectangle contours, while joins and terminals are crisp and mostly flat, with occasional stepped notches that add a mechanical, cut-metal character. Counters are narrow and strongly shaped, keeping the texture dense and evenly paced across lines.
Best suited for short display settings where its outlined, condensed forms can read as a graphic motif—headlines, posters, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for sporty or industrial branding, event titles, and bold labeling where a tall, space-saving width is helpful. For longer text, it will be more effective at larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The overall tone feels industrial and sporty, with a retro scoreboard/arcade flavor. The outlined construction reads like stencil tubing or neon-channel lettering, giving it a punchy, graphic presence without becoming heavy. Its narrow stance and rigid geometry convey efficiency and engineered precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice by combining a narrow build with an outline-plus-inline construction. Its squared, modular shapes aim for a consistent, engineered rhythm that feels both retro and utilitarian, emphasizing distinctive silhouettes over traditional text readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar structural logic, and the lowercase maintains the same condensed, upright posture with simplified bowls and tight apertures. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle framework, creating a cohesive set for headings and labeled UI/wayfinding-style compositions.
