A wide, geometric sans with squared, softly rounded corners and a distinctly engineered construction. Strokes are heavy and monolinear, with an inset inline channel that creates a hollowed, double-stroke effect throughout, giving each glyph a layered, dimensional look. Curves are largely simplified into octagonal arcs, counters are generous and rectangular, and terminals tend to be flat with clipped corners. The rhythm is expansive and display-oriented, with uniform stroke behavior and consistent inner line spacing across letters and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and logo wordmarks where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits gaming and tech interface graphics, esports/sports branding, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a strong, engineered display voice.
The inline cut and squared geometry evoke a retro-futurist, arcade and sci‑fi tone—confident, mechanical, and energized. Its bold presence and technical detailing read as sporty and industrial, lending a sense of speed, machinery, and digital interfaces.
Likely designed as a high-impact display face that combines a solid geometric backbone with an inset inline to add depth without relying on shading. The wide proportions and squared forms emphasize clarity and punch in short phrases, while the consistent internal channel provides a distinctive signature for branding.
The design favors hard angles over true curves, especially in bowls and rounds (O, C, G, 0), reinforcing an octagonal motif. The inline treatment remains visible at small breaks and joins, producing a crisp, emblematic silhouette that stands out best with adequate size and spacing.
