A squared, modular sans with generously rounded corners and an outline-only construction. The letterforms are built from straight segments and soft radiused turns, with frequent notches and interior cut-ins that create a crisp, high-contrast rhythm between outer contour and inner voids. Counters are compact and geometric, terminals are mostly flat, and many glyphs feature inset details that echo the outer shape, giving a layered, engineered look. Proportions feel sturdy with a tall x-height and relatively uniform cap presence, producing strong blocky silhouettes even though the strokes are hollow.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, branding marks, posters, and packaging where the outlined structure can read clearly and contribute visual flair. It can also work for game UI or tech-themed graphics when used at larger sizes and with ample tracking to keep the contours and cut-ins legible.
The overall tone reads retro-futuristic and game-like, combining industrial signage cues with an arcade display attitude. Its outlined construction and stepped details add a playful, schematic character that feels energetic and slightly mechanical rather than formal or literary.
The font appears designed to deliver strong, blocky silhouettes with a distinctive outlined presence, using modular geometry and inset detailing to evoke engineered, retro display lettering. The consistent rounding and notched interiors suggest an emphasis on a cohesive, decorative system that remains readable in short bursts of text.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and repeated inset forms, which creates cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The outline spacing is prominent enough to hold shape at display sizes, while the internal notches add distinctive texture that becomes a key part of the font’s personality.
