A modular, box-built display face constructed from right-angled segments on a grid. Letterforms are drawn as hollow, outlined shapes with a continuous outer contour and frequent internal notch-like cutouts, creating a perforated, stepped rhythm along stems and curves. Corners are consistently squared, bowls are rectangularized, and diagonals are rendered as stair-steps. The overall texture is crisp and geometric, with simplified terminals and an intentionally mechanical, tile-like construction that stays legible while remaining highly stylized.
Best suited to display settings where its outlined, cutout texture can read clearly—logos, posters, titles, packaging, and interface accents for games or retro-tech themes. It can also work for short bursts of text in headings or labels, but the internal perforations and stepped curves are most effective when given ample size and spacing.
The font reads as retro-digital and game-adjacent, with a playful, crafty sensibility that evokes pixel art, circuitry, and block-assembly aesthetics. Its hollow construction and repeated cutouts add a quirky, hand-built energy while keeping an orderly, technical tone.
The design appears intended to translate pixel-grid construction into a cohesive alphabet with an outlined, hollow presence and signature internal knockouts. It prioritizes a recognizable retro-digital silhouette and decorative texture over neutral text ergonomics, aiming for immediate character in branding and display typography.
Capitals are compact and blocky, while lowercase forms keep the same grid logic and open counters, yielding a consistent, modular voice across cases. Numerals follow the same squared framework and outline treatment, supporting headline-style numeric emphasis. The repeated interior knockouts create a distinctive patterning that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
