A chunky, rounded-rect sans with squared corners and generous radii, built from heavy strokes that are consistently carved by a thin inline channel. The forms lean geometric and modular, with wide apertures and simplified joins that keep counters open even at extreme weight. Capitals are compact and boxy, while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height and straightforward, upright construction; curves are controlled and often resolved into softened rectangles. Numerals follow the same squared, display-forward logic, with the inline detail tracking cleanly through bowls, corners, and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short display lines where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, event graphics, and signage that benefit from a bold, high-impact silhouette with an added dimensional accent.
The inline cut gives the letters a stamped, machine-made energy that reads as retro-futuristic and game-like. Overall it feels loud, playful, and confident—more about impact and attitude than subtlety—evoking arcade signage, sporty branding, and bold UI graphics.
This design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display face that combines a solid, athletic grotesk skeleton with an integrated inline accent to add depth and character. The goal seems to be strong legibility at large sizes while projecting a distinctive retro-tech personality for branding and titling.
The inline channel creates a built-in highlight/stripe effect that can read like embossing or tubing, especially in larger sizes. Some glyphs show a slightly narrower or more compact internal spacing to preserve the inline path through tight turns, which reinforces a hand-tuned display rhythm.
