A geometric, angular display face built from squared-off strokes and sharp corners, with a consistent inline channel running through the black forms. Counters are boxy and compact, terminals are flat, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are crisp and faceted. Proportions are condensed with tall capitals and a relatively even rhythm across the set, while lowercase forms keep the same rectilinear construction for a unified, engineered look. The inline detail remains steady in thickness and placement, giving the letters a layered, sign-like structure that reads as both outline and solid.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the inline detailing can be appreciated—posters, branding marks, product packaging, and event or venue signage. It also fits on-screen titles and UI accents that want a retro-tech flavor, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels retro-futuristic and arcade-adjacent, with a crisp, machine-made confidence. Its squared geometry and carved inline evoke technical labeling, neon-trimmed signage, and game UI aesthetics—energetic, bold, and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy, condensed geometric skeleton with an inset inline to create depth and a neon-trim/engraved effect. The consistent right-angled construction prioritizes a mechanical, modular feel over calligraphic nuance, aiming for high impact in display typography.
Because much of the character comes from the internal inline, spacing and size matter: at smaller sizes the interior channel can visually fill in, while at larger sizes it becomes a defining decorative feature. The squarish counters and tight apertures give it a compact, punchy texture in words.
