A blocky, geometric display face built from straight strokes and chamfered (octagonal) corners. The letterforms are drawn as open outlines with a consistent stroke and an internal dark “drop” that reads like an inline shadow, giving a shallow 3D sign effect. Counters are mostly angular and rectangular, spacing is generous, and the silhouette stays rigid and modular across the set; diagonals appear as stepped or clipped joins rather than smooth curves.
Best suited to large sizes where the outline and inline shadow can stay clean: headlines, logos/wordmarks, posters, packaging, esports or arcade-themed graphics, and bold UI labels. It also works well for short badges, jersey-style titling, and punchy numbers in layouts.
The overall tone is energetic and game-like, with a strong arcade and athletic-signage feel. The outlined construction and built-in shadow add a punchy, poster-ready presence that reads as playful, slightly industrial, and intentionally “retro tech.”
The font appears designed to deliver an instantly recognizable, angular sign style with depth and impact, using outline construction and a built-in shadow to create a dimensional, attention-grabbing display voice.
The design favors flat horizontals/verticals with minimal curvature, creating a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry prominent cut corners that maintain a cohesive, stencil-like geometry, while the lowercase keeps the same squared logic and remains highly display-oriented rather than texty.
