A tall, condensed display face built from squared, geometric forms with subtly rounded corners. The letterforms read as hollow constructions: strokes are rendered as outline-like bands with interior cutouts, creating strong figure/ground interplay and a sign-making feel. Curves are minimized into boxy bowls and chamfered turns, terminals are mostly flat, and counters tend toward rectangular shapes. Widths vary by character, giving the text a slightly irregular rhythm while maintaining consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its hollow geometry can read clearly—posters, titles, packaging callouts, and bold branding marks. It can also work for short UI labels, wayfinding, or sci‑fi themed graphics when set at generous sizes and with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels futuristic and utilitarian, with a retro arcade or control-panel vibe. Its hollow construction and rigid geometry convey a technical, engineered mood, while the occasional quirky proportions add a playful edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact silhouette with a distinctive cutout construction, balancing strict geometric structure with enough character to stand out in headlines and identity work.
The inverted, cutout-driven construction makes the design highly dependent on size and contrast: at smaller sizes the interior gaps can visually close, while at larger sizes the shapes become striking and graphic. Numerals and punctuation share the same squared, segmented language, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like texture in running text.
