A geometric sans built from a single outline stroke, producing hollow letterforms with an open interior. Forms are predominantly squared with rounded corners, combining straight runs with broad-radius curves for a clean, modular rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and the joins stay crisp, with occasional chamfered/angled details in diagonals and corners that add a slightly mechanical, constructed feel. Counters are generous and the overall proportions read compact and sturdy, while the outline treatment keeps the color airy and light on the page.
Best suited to display settings where the hollow outline can read clearly—headlines, logos, posters, and bold titling on packaging or signage. It also fits UI mockups or game/tech themed graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the interior space and outline details stay legible.
The outlined construction and squared geometry evoke a retro-futuristic, tech-forward tone reminiscent of arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its crisp contours and systematic shapes feel engineered and modern, with a playful edge coming from the hollow, sign-like look.
The design appears intended as a clean, geometric outline face that delivers a modern, constructed aesthetic while keeping page color light. By emphasizing squared forms with rounded corners and consistent outline weight, it aims to provide a distinctive display voice for tech, sci‑fi, and retro-digital themes without relying on heavy fills.
Diagonal-heavy glyphs (such as V/W/X/Y) show simplified, angular construction that reinforces the geometric theme. The digit set follows the same squared-rounded language, giving numerals a display-oriented, badge-like presence. The outline stroke remains consistent in thickness, helping the alphabet feel uniform even where corners introduce small geometric quirks.
