A geometric, square-constructed display face built from rectilinear strokes and right-angle turns, drawn as an open outline with a consistent inner countershape that reads like a hollow channel. Corners are crisp and orthogonal, with occasional stepped notches and small pixel-like intrusions that introduce a deliberate, slightly broken rhythm in a few glyphs. Proportions are compact and modular, with tight apertures and squared bowls; curves are largely avoided in favor of rectangular forms. Spacing appears even and grid-minded in text, reinforcing a mechanical, schematic feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title screens, and logo wordmarks where the outlined geometry can read clearly. It also fits tech-leaning interfaces, arcade or cyber-themed graphics, and packaging or merch that benefits from a bold, schematic texture rather than continuous body text.
The font conveys a retro-digital, arcade-like tone with a hint of glitch and hardware UI aesthetics. Its outlined, boxed construction feels technical and game-inspired, while the intermittent distortions add energy and a playful, hacked-electronics attitude.
The design appears intended to evoke a grid-based, digital-architectural look: an outlined, hollow construction with rigid geometry and occasional glitch-like interruptions. It prioritizes visual character and thematic texture over neutral readability, aiming for a distinctive retro-tech display voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly constructed, modular skeleton, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed-case settings. The outlined structure keeps interiors light, while the heavy perimeter presence produces strong edge contrast against the background, especially at larger sizes.
