A rounded geometric sans with heavy, squared-off terminals and broadly proportioned letterforms. Strokes are largely monoline and low-contrast, built from smooth arcs and straight segments with soft corners. A consistent inline cut runs through the black strokes, creating a hollowed, multi-band effect that reads like an outlined/striped construction. Counters are generous and shapes stay open and orderly, with a slightly extended, display-forward width and a steady, mechanical rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display work such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, and logotypes where the inline construction can be appreciated. It also fits entertainment and tech-forward contexts—game titles, event graphics, and sporty branding—especially when a bold, graphic texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels retro-futuristic and energetic, recalling arcade graphics and streamlined industrial signage. The carved inline detail adds a technical, engineered character that reads confident and sporty rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong geometric sans silhouette while adding built-in decoration through a precise inline carving. This creates immediate visual interest and a distinctive texture without relying on external outlines or effects, positioning it as a striking display face for modern-retro branding.
The inline bands remain consistent across curved and straight strokes, giving the face a cohesive, fabricated look. In text, the internal striping becomes a dominant texture, so it reads best when given breathing room and sufficient size to keep the interior lines crisp.
