A heavy, squared sans with softened corners and a distinctive carved inline channel running through many strokes. The letterforms are compact and blocky, with broad verticals and horizontals, flattened curves, and occasional stepped terminals that create a slightly segmented, engineered feel. Counters are generally tight and geometric (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), and several glyphs include interior notches and cut-ins that add rhythm and emphasize the constructed, modular geometry. Numerals match the caps in mass and squareness, maintaining consistent stroke presence and a strong silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short promotional copy where the carved inline can be appreciated. It works especially well for gaming/arcade themes, tech or sci‑fi visual systems, event posters, and packaging or labels that benefit from a bold, engineered display texture.
The inline carving and squared, softened geometry give a distinctly retro-tech tone—evoking arcade cabinets, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its personality is assertive and mechanical, with a playful edge from the rounded corners and the decorative internal channels.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a decorative inline that suggests machining or illuminated edging, while keeping letterforms legible through simple, squared construction. The overall system prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent futuristic/industrial flavor for display-driven typography.
The inline detail is visually prominent and can read as a highlight/engraving effect; it becomes a key part of the texture in longer text. Several shapes lean toward a stylized, almost stencil-like construction, so the face feels more like a designed graphic element than a neutral text workhorse.
