A modular, monoline display face built from rectilinear, boxy strokes with squared corners and an outlined construction. The contours are consistently thick, while the interiors are frequently interrupted by small rectangular voids and occasional horizontal “brace” bars, giving many glyphs a hollow, cut-out look. Proportions skew wide with a tall x-height, and spacing feels engineered rather than calligraphic; strokes sit on a grid-like rhythm and favor straight segments over curves. The figures and capitals read strongly at larger sizes, with the internal knockouts creating a distinctive texture across words and lines.
Best used as a display font for headlines, posters, and branding where its outlined, cut-out texture can be appreciated. It also fits game/UI titling, sci‑fi or industrial graphics, and packaging accents that want a constructed, techy feel. In extended small text, the internal breaks may become busy, so it’s most effective when given room and scale.
The overall tone is industrial and game-adjacent, evoking scaffolding, circuit frames, or block-built signage. Its repeated cutouts and rigid geometry suggest a utilitarian, fabricated aesthetic—more technical and playful than formal. The texture adds a slightly glitchy, constructed character that feels suited to sci‑fi interfaces and retro-digital themes.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, fabricated structure into letterforms—using outlines and internal knockouts to create a signature surface texture. By keeping strokes monoline and geometry orthogonal, it emphasizes modular consistency while letting the cutouts provide personality and motion. The result prioritizes distinctive display impact over traditional text neutrality.
Internal cutouts are not purely uniform: some letters use stacked horizontal bars, while others introduce small stepped notches, creating a lively, mechanical irregularity. The dot forms (like on i/j) are square and match the structural language. Because the design relies on interior negative space, it benefits from clean rendering and sufficient size so the knockouts remain legible.
