A heavy, angular display face built from blocky, monolinear strokes with sharply cut corners and frequent chamfers. Each glyph is drawn as a solid outer silhouette with a consistent interior cut-out, creating an inline/knockout effect that reads like a hollowed stencil. Counters tend toward rectangular forms, and many joins are squared or notched, producing a rigid, engineered rhythm. Proportions are compact with short extenders and a generally even cap presence, while widths vary by letter to maintain strong, stable silhouettes in wide forms like M/W and tighter forms like I/J.
Best suited to display settings where the inline cut-outs can be appreciated: posters, branding marks, event titles, album art, packaging, and game or arcade-themed UI/graphics. It will be most effective at moderate-to-large sizes, where the internal openings remain clear and contribute to the intended high-impact texture.
The cut-out interiors and hard geometry give the font a punchy, industrial tone with a retro-digital edge. It feels game-like and gadgety—more about impact and attitude than subtlety—while still staying systematic and constructed.
The design appears intended to combine bold sign-lettering mass with a consistent interior knockout, delivering a strong, stencil-like presence while adding visual detail through inverted counters. The angular construction and notched terminals suggest an aim toward a retro-industrial, tech-flavored display voice that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The interior knockout is kept fairly uniform across the set, which helps the face hold together in headlines and short lines. Shapes like O/0 and other rounded letters are treated as squarish frames, reinforcing the mechanical aesthetic and making the overall texture highly graphic.
