A bold, boxy display face built from rounded-rectangle forms with squared terminals and soft corners. Letter bodies are mostly open and “hollowed” with a thin outer outline, while interior counters and select strokes appear as solid black inserts, creating an inverted positive/negative rhythm. Geometry is chunky and compact with a tall x-height, wide proportions, and frequent straight-sided bowls; diagonals (like V/W/X/Y) are simplified into heavy wedges. The design maintains consistent outline thickness and corner treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with occasional cut-ins and notches that add a mechanical, stencil-like flavor.
Best suited to large sizes where the outline-and-insert structure can be clearly resolved—posters, headlines, event graphics, logos, packaging, and short signage. It can work for brief punchy phrases, but the busy interior detailing is more effective as a feature than for long reading.
The overall tone reads as retro-futurist and arcade-adjacent, mixing industrial signage energy with a playful, graphic twist. The alternating filled and hollow areas produce a lively, high-impact texture that feels attention-seeking and slightly quirky rather than formal.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum graphic impact through inverted fills and hollowed outlines, echoing vintage techno and industrial display lettering. Its consistent rounded-rect construction suggests an intention to feel engineered and modular while remaining friendly and approachable.
The inline/inset blacks behave like internal “shadows” or plugs, so word shapes develop a distinctive stripe-and-block pattern in running text. Counters are often rectangular and tightly controlled, which boosts uniformity but emphasizes the constructed, display-first character.
