A slanted, monolinear display face built from squared curves and angular joins, with a consistent inline cut that creates a hollowed, double-stroke impression. The glyphs have compact, boxy counters and stepped terminals, giving many letters a slightly mechanical, segmented silhouette. Stroke endings are generally blunt and squared, and the overall construction favors straight segments with rounded corners rather than smooth continuous curves. Spacing and shapes feel intentionally modular, with some glyphs showing asymmetric cut-ins and notches that reinforce the engineered look.
Best suited for display settings where its inline detailing and angular construction can be appreciated—such as posters, titles, product marks, gaming interfaces, and technology-themed branding. It can also work for short labels or signage-style phrases when ample size and contrast are available, but the carved interior lines make it less appropriate for long body copy.
The overall tone is futuristic and game-like, with a utilitarian edge reminiscent of instrument panels, arcade cabinets, and industrial labeling. The inline carving adds a crisp, high-tech flavor while keeping the rhythm energetic and slightly aggressive due to the angled stance and sharp geometry.
The design appears intended to evoke a constructed, machine-cut aesthetic by combining an italic stance with squared forms and an internal inline channel. Its geometry and consistent carving suggest a focus on strong visual identity and a retro-futuristic, technical voice.
The inline treatment remains prominent at larger sizes, where its cut-through detail reads as a designed feature rather than texture. The font’s distinctive stepped corners and notched strokes give it a synthesized, digitized personality that stands out in short runs of text.
