A chunky, squared display face built from blocky, mostly right‑angled forms with flattened terminals and subtly chamfered corners. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with an internal inline cut that tracks the letter skeleton and creates a carved, hollowed look inside each glyph. Counters tend to be rectilinear and compact, and curves are handled as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, keeping the texture mechanical and dense. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase in construction, producing a consistent, modular rhythm across words and figures.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications such as titles, wordmarks, posters, and packaging where the carved inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits game interfaces, sci‑fi branding, and event graphics that benefit from a strong, geometric, techno voice.
The inline carving and boxy geometry give the font a futuristic, engineered tone—part arcade cabinet, part industrial stenciling. It reads as bold and assertive, with a retro‑tech flavor that feels suited to games, gadgets, and high‑impact headings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy, modular shapes while adding depth via an internal inline cut, creating a dimensional, machined effect without relying on shading or gradients.
The inline is tight and close to the inner edge of the strokes, so at small sizes it can visually fill in; it performs best when given room to breathe. Numerals match the squared, compartmentalized construction, reinforcing a uniform, system-like feel across alphanumerics.
