A decorative, monoline sans with an outlined construction and a consistent inline cut running through the strokes, creating a layered, hollowed look. Forms are mostly geometric with rounded bowls and smooth curves, while terminals stay clean and unbracketed. Uppercase proportions feel wide and stable, and lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height, keeping counters open but slightly condensed vertically. The inline detail remains uniform across letters and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, engineered rhythm that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited for display typography: headlines, posters, event graphics, storefront-style signage, and brand marks where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and short pull quotes, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The inline-and-outline treatment evokes marquee lighting and etched signage, lending a lively, retro character with a hint of Art Deco polish. It feels upbeat and crafted, balancing novelty with enough structure to stay legible in short bursts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a straightforward geometric sans through a consistent inline carve-out, producing a dimensional, sign-painterly effect without relying on heavy stroke contrast. The goal is distinctive, stylized emphasis for titles and brand-forward applications.
The double-line interior detail introduces visual texture that can fill in at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs, so spacing and size matter more than with a plain sans. Numerals follow the same decorative logic, supporting cohesive titling and date/number-heavy headlines.
