A rectilinear, modular display face built from squared forms and consistent stroke thickness, rendered as a hollow/outlined construction. Letterforms rely on right angles, stepped corners, and doubled or parallel rules that create inner channels and open counters. Several glyphs incorporate deliberate internal breaks and segmented strokes, producing a slightly irregular, cut-up rhythm while keeping an overall geometric grid logic. Curves are largely minimized or squared off, giving the alphabet a crisp, circuit-like silhouette with an engineered feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster titles, game or event graphics, and brand marks that benefit from a geometric tech aesthetic. It also works well for packaging or signage where the outlined, channel-like strokes can be showcased at larger sizes.
The font reads as digital and futuristic with a strong retro-arcade flavor. Its outlined construction and intermittent cutouts add a subtle “glitch” or signal-interference character, balancing precision with a playful, synthetic edge. Overall it evokes interfaces, sci-fi labeling, and vintage computer graphics.
The design appears intended to emulate a constructed, electronic aesthetic—like lettering traced from circuit paths or retro display systems—while introducing occasional internal cutouts for texture and visual intrigue. The goal seems to be a distinctive, futuristic display voice rather than a neutral text workhorse.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, which enhances the modular, constructed look but can make long passages feel uneven. The hollow outlines and internal segmentation become most distinctive at larger sizes, where the double-line detailing and broken strokes are clearly legible.
