A wide, rounded-rectangle display face drawn as a clean outline. Forms are built from chunky, geometric silhouettes with softened corners and mostly straight-sided bowls and counters. Many glyphs include small rectangular ink-trap-like notches or interior cut-ins that create a distinctive, engineered rhythm without adding contrast. Curves are simple and broad, joins are sturdy, and spacing feels open, making the contours read clearly even with the hollow construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the outline can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, logos, and packaging. It also fits sporty or tech-leaning branding, signage, and UI accents where a wide, geometric display voice is desired. For small sizes or dense paragraphs, the hollow contours may lose presence compared to solid styles.
The overall tone is playful and slightly futuristic, with a retro sign-paint and arcade-like flavor. The outlined build keeps it light on the page while the oversized, wide proportions maintain a strong presence. The small cut-in details add a techy, industrial personality that feels sporty and graphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display silhouette with a lighter visual footprint, using outline construction and small engineered cut-ins to create a recognizable, branded texture. The wide proportions and rounded corners emphasize friendliness and impact while keeping the letterforms orderly and geometric.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same squared, rounded construction, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed-case setting. Numerals match the wide stance and use the same notch vocabulary, giving headlines and badges a cohesive, system-like feel.
