A geometric inline display face built from squared, rounded-corner letterforms and uniform stroke logic. Each glyph is drawn as a thick outer contour with a consistent inset line, creating a double-line/inline look and generous internal counters. Terminals are predominantly squared and the curves are engineered as rounded rectangles, giving the alphabet a modular, constructed feel. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, while the lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy stance with simplified shapes and minimal contrast; numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for bold headlines, wordmarks, and short statements where the inline detail can read clearly. It works especially well for sports branding, arcade or game-themed graphics, tech-styled posters, packaging, and signage where a structured, high-impact display look is desired.
The overall tone is distinctly retro-futuristic, evoking arcade cabinets, athletic lettering, and industrial signage. The inline treatment adds a sense of motion and hardware-like precision, balancing playful nostalgia with a clean, technical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through blocky geometry while adding distinctiveness via a consistent inline contour. Its modular construction suggests a goal of clear, repeatable forms that feel engineered and contemporary, with a nod to vintage display lettering.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and even spacing between the outer outline and inner inline, which produces a strong rhythm at large sizes. In longer text the open interiors and repeated contouring create a busy texture, making it most effective as a headline or short-phrase style.
