A compact, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared counters, drawn with a heavy outer contour and a consistent inline cut that runs through the strokes. Curves are replaced by softened corners and smooth, radiused turns, giving letters a modular, machined feel. Stems and bowls keep even thickness throughout, with generous internal openings for a display face, and tight overall spacing that reinforces its condensed rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same boxed, engineered skeleton, while lowercase forms maintain a clean, simplified structure for signage-like clarity.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the inline detail can resolve clearly—headlines, poster titles, logotypes, and brand marks. It also works well for tech-themed packaging, interfaces, and signage where a structured, futuristic voice is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and ample line spacing help preserve the inline separation and keep the texture from becoming busy.
The inline carving and rounded-square geometry evoke a futuristic control-panel aesthetic with a clear nod to retro tech styling. It reads as assertive and synthetic—more machine-made than humanist—conveying a sense of speed, circuitry, and industrial precision.
Likely designed as a distinctive display face that combines a sturdy geometric skeleton with an inline accent to add depth and visual interest. The consistent rounding and boxed proportions prioritize a cohesive, engineered look that stays recognizable across letters and numerals.
The inline detail becomes a primary texture at larger sizes, creating a layered stroke effect that can look neon-like or engraved depending on color and background. Straight horizontals and verticals dominate, and the squared apertures and terminals keep the tone systematic and consistent across letters and figures.
