A monoline, lightly built display face with tall, condensed proportions and squared, softly rounded corners. Each letterform is constructed from broken contours with consistent cut-outs, giving a segmented, stencil-like rhythm and plenty of interior air. A subtle offset duplicate line creates a shadowed, hollowed impression, adding dimensionality without increasing stroke weight. Curves are simplified and geometric, terminals tend to be blunt, and spacing reads open due to the discontinuous outlines.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where the hollow shadow effect can be appreciated. It also works well for thematic titles in games, film, or music artwork that benefit from an industrial or coded aesthetic. For small sizes or dense copy, the segmented construction may reduce legibility.
The cut-out outlines and faint shadowing give the font a technical, slightly covert tone—part industrial labeling, part retro display. Its airy construction feels modern and schematic, while the segmented strokes introduce a coded, enigmatic character that can read as noir or sci‑fi depending on context.
The design appears intended to merge a lightweight, condensed skeleton with purposeful cut-outs and an offset outline to create a dimensional, hollow shadow look. The consistent segmentation suggests a deliberate system for producing a mechanical, stencil-adjacent texture while keeping the overall color on the page airy and refined.
The broken strokes and shadow detail become a defining texture in text, producing a lively sparkle at larger sizes. Some glyphs rely on partial contours to imply shapes, so clarity is strongest where the font has room to breathe and the cut-outs remain distinct.
