A faceted, angular display face built from straight segments and clipped corners. Letters are drawn as hollow outlines with a consistent stroke and an offset shadow layer that reads like a sharp, extruded edge, giving a pseudo‑3D, two-tone silhouette. Counters are mostly squared, terminals are hard and abrupt, and diagonals are treated as stepped or chamfered joins rather than smooth curves. Spacing feels compact and modular, with simplified construction that keeps forms legible even in the outlined style.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where the outline-and-shadow effect can read clearly: headlines, posters, titles, logos, game or arcade-themed UI, and bold packaging callouts. It will hold up well on high-contrast backgrounds and in larger sizes where the interior counters and shadow spacing stay open.
The overall tone is bold and playful with a distinctly retro-digital flavor—somewhere between arcade lettering, DIY sci‑fi titling, and comic-tech signage. The shadow treatment adds energy and a sense of depth, making the face feel punchy and graphic rather than neutral.
This design appears intended as a graphic display font that simulates depth through a consistent shadow offset while keeping letterforms simple and modular. The goal is impact and theme-setting—evoking retro tech and arcade signage—rather than quiet text readability.
The shadow consistently sits as a secondary outline, creating a strong directionality and a crisp, sticker-like edge. Mixed-case forms follow the same geometric logic, with squared bowls and notched details that reinforce the constructed, display-first personality.
