A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared-off counters, built as an outline drawing with an inner inline that creates a hollow, channel-like stroke. Terminals are mostly blunt and corners are consistently radiused, giving the forms a softened, engineered feel rather than sharp angles. A secondary, offset outline produces a crisp drop-shadow/echo effect that reads like a layered stencil or dimensional sign treatment. Curves are tightened into boxy arcs (notably in C, G, O, S), diagonals are clean and straight (V, W, X, Y), and the numerals follow the same rounded, segmented logic for a cohesive set.
Well-suited for display applications where the outlined, shadowed construction can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, wayfinding, and title treatments. It also works effectively for tech-themed graphics, game/arcade visuals, and UI-style callouts when used at medium to large sizes.
The combination of hollow outlines and an offset shadow gives the face a distinctly retro-futuristic tone—evoking arcade cabinets, sci‑fi interface lettering, and mid-century industrial labeling. It feels bold in personality despite its open interiors, with a crisp, graphic presence that suggests motion and depth.
The design appears intended to deliver a dimensional, layered outline aesthetic with a clean geometric skeleton, balancing strict structure with rounded corners for approachability. The consistent inline and shadow treatment suggest a focus on striking, repeatable display typography that maintains a unified look across letters and numerals.
The shadow offset is consistent across glyphs, making the font read best when the outline and echo have enough resolution to stay distinct. The squared curves and rounded corners keep the look uniform across caps, lowercase, and figures, while the open, outlined construction favors display settings over small text.
