A heavy, squared sans with generously rounded corners and a monolinear feel. Each glyph is built from thick, blocky strokes that are partially opened up by a continuous inner cut, creating a layered, channel-like construction that reads as both outline and inline at once. Curves are rendered as softened rectangles rather than true circles, giving counters a squarish geometry (notably in O/0 and D). The lowercase is compact and sturdy with short ascenders and a prominent x-height, while overall spacing and widths vary by letter in a way that reinforces the constructed, display-first rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, team/club branding, product packaging, and event graphics. It can work for subheads or UI labels when set large enough to preserve the inner channel and avoid fill-in on dense letter pairs.
The inline carving and softened-square forms evoke late-20th-century display lettering—equal parts arcade cabinet, athletic wordmark, and industrial signage. The look feels energetic and mechanical, with a bold, engineered personality that suggests motion, equipment, and futuristic UI labels.
The design appears intended as a punchy display face that combines solid mass with a crisp internal carve, delivering strong presence while retaining an identifiable internal detail. Its rounded-square construction suggests a goal of blending retro signage cues with a clean, engineered finish for modern branding applications.
At text sizes the internal cut can visually merge in tight areas, so the design reads best where the inner channel has room to stay distinct. Symmetry and repetition of the inner path give the font a consistent "machined" texture across mixed case and figures.
