A geometric outline face built from monoline contours with rounded corners and squared-off terminals. Many glyphs use open counters and deliberate breaks in the outline (notably in E, G, S, and some numerals), creating an engineered, segmented rhythm. Curves are smooth but restrained, often resolving into straight runs and chamfer-like joins; diagonals in V/W/X/Y/Z are broad and angular. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s modular construction, with a tall x-height and simplified bowls, and the numerals follow the same outlined, slightly condensed-by-outline logic with distinctive cut-ins on forms like 2, 5, and 9.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo/wordmark work where the outline construction can read clearly. It also fits UI-themed graphics, gaming or tech branding, and packaging accents, especially when paired with solid fills, glow effects, or high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone reads as sci‑fi and display-oriented, evoking digital interfaces, arcade titles, and space-racing graphics. Its open, segmented outlines feel technical and schematic, giving words a crisp, futuristic edge while staying playful and retro-modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold futuristic identity through clean geometric outlines and purposeful contour interruptions, balancing readability with a stylized, modular voice for display typography.
Because the design is purely outlined, the color of the page shows through, and spacing between letters becomes visually prominent; the segmented joins can create a lively sparkle at larger sizes. The squared curves and consistent contour thickness keep the alphabet cohesive, while the frequent internal gaps add character and help prevent large outlined shapes from feeling too heavy.
