This is a heavy, display-oriented sans with squared proportions and pronounced cutouts that create a hollowed, inverted look. Strokes are thick with sharp, machined terminals, while many curves (C, G, O, S, 0) are built from rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. The counters are aggressively shaped—often as rectangular notches and internal wedges—producing a high-contrast figure/ground effect where the inner “holes” read as dominant design features. Spacing and sidebearings feel modular and boxy, lending the line a tiled rhythm in text.
Best used for headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold labels where its cutout detailing can be appreciated. It also fits tech-themed interfaces, arcade/game graphics, and packaging where a strong, modular wordshape is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels techno and retro-futuristic, with a utilitarian, industrial edge. The cutout construction adds a playful, game-UI energy while still reading as engineered and systematic, like signage or instrument labeling. Its strong black/white inversion effect gives it a punchy, poster-like presence.
The font appears designed to maximize impact through a modular, cutout construction that emphasizes negative space as a primary stylistic element. Its squared geometry and consistent internal notching suggest an intention to evoke industrial stenciling and retro digital aesthetics while keeping letterforms immediately recognizable.
The design maintains a consistent squared skeleton across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with distinctive internal openings that vary by glyph to preserve recognition. In continuous text, the repeated block-like shapes create a strong pattern and visual texture, making it more suited to short bursts than long reading passages.
