A monoline, rounded sans with open counters and softly squared curves that give letters a tube-like, modular construction. Many glyphs use an outlined approach with interior inline strokes that echo the outer contour, creating a subtle double-line/track effect. Corners are consistently rounded, joins are smooth, and curves tend toward squarish radii rather than circular bowls. Diagonals (as in K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and angular, contrasting with the rounded terminals, while numerals follow the same softly rectangular logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display contexts where its outline/inline construction can be appreciated—headlines, logos, posters, product names, and packaging. It also fits UI-inspired graphics, tech event materials, and retro-futuristic themes, especially when set with generous spacing or at larger sizes.
The overall tone reads futuristic and technical, with a playful, arcade-like edge driven by the outline-and-inline detailing. It feels precise and engineered rather than organic, suggesting digital interfaces, electronics, and retro sci‑fi graphics.
The font appears designed to combine a friendly rounded skeleton with a distinctly technological, schematic-like stroke treatment. Its consistent modular curves and interior line accents aim to create a recognizable sci‑fi voice while keeping letterforms simple and legible in short bursts of text.
The inline detailing is applied selectively and becomes a defining texture in text, producing a bright, graphic rhythm that can look busy at small sizes. The design favors clear silhouettes and consistent rounding, with simplified forms (notably in E/F/T-like strokes and the squarish bowls) that keep the alphabet feeling systematic.
