A geometric, squared sans with strongly chamfered corners and octagonal curves that give round letters (O, C, G) a faceted, engineered feel. Strokes are heavy and uniform in weight, then split by a thin interior channel that reads as an inline cut running through the letterforms; the inline is generally consistent and follows the stroke path rather than acting as a separate outline. Proportions are broad with a low-to-moderate x-height and open counters, while terminals favor straight cuts and hard angles over soft joins. The texture is crisp and mechanical, with tight internal detailing that becomes more prominent as sizes increase.
Best suited to short-form display work such as headlines, title treatments, posters, logo marks, and game or tech-themed UI labels where the inline detailing can read cleanly. It can also work for packaging or signage that benefits from a hard-edged, industrial aesthetic, while extended body text will likely feel busy due to the internal cut and dense rhythm.
The design conveys a futuristic, machine-made tone—more cockpit display and arcade cabinet than editorial page. Its angular geometry and carved inline suggest precision engineering and digital interfaces, producing an assertive, high-energy voice suited to tech-forward themes.
The font appears designed to evoke a contemporary sci-fi/tech aesthetic through faceted geometry and an inline carving that adds dimensionality without introducing curvature or brush-like modulation. The consistent angular language across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggests an emphasis on system-like cohesion and display impact.
Diagonal construction is prominent in V/W/X/Y and the angled shoulders and joins reinforce the faceted motif across the set. The inline introduces fine interior features that can visually thicken in dense settings, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity and perceived weight.
