A rectilinear, modular display face built from heavy, squared strokes with a consistent inner line that creates a carved, double-stroke effect. Terminals are blunt and right-angled, with frequent step-like corners that give many forms a pixel-grid rhythm rather than smooth curves. Counters tend toward boxy shapes, and the inner inline detail stays relatively even across the alphabet, producing a crisp, engineered texture in text. The overall construction reads as geometric and monoline in spirit, with the inline providing the primary internal contrast.
Best suited for display applications where its inline construction and angular geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, logos, title cards, and brand marks with a tech or industrial slant. It also fits game interfaces, arcade-themed graphics, and packaging or labels that benefit from a bold, schematic look. For longer passages, it will be most effective when set with generous size and spacing to keep the internal linework from visually clustering.
The font projects a retro-digital mood, evoking arcade cabinets, early computer graphics, and technical labeling. Its angular, chiseled inline detail adds a schematic, industrial flavor that feels both playful and mechanical. The rhythm is assertive and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a stylized, game-like futurism rather than a neutral everyday tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual character through a heavy, squared framework softened by an internal inline that adds depth and a machined, architectural feel. Its modular construction suggests a goal of consistent, system-like letterbuilding that references digital and industrial aesthetics while remaining highly legible as a display style.
In running text, the repeating inner inline creates a strong pattern that can visually thicken at small sizes or in dense settings, while remaining striking at larger sizes. The stepped diagonals and squared curves give distinctive silhouettes, especially in letters that typically rely on smooth bowls and diagonals, reinforcing the font’s grid-driven character.
