A condensed, geometric display face built from narrow, squared forms and crisp right angles, with occasional chamfered corners. Strokes read as solid outlines with an internal inline channel that runs through the stems, creating a layered, double-line look and a strong sense of depth. Counters are mostly rectangular and tightly drawn, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with straight-sided curves and consistent, engineered proportions.
Best suited for display work where the inline detail can breathe—posters, editorial headlines, event graphics, brand marks, and storefront-style signage. It also works well for short packaging callouts and title treatments, but is less effective for long passages or small UI text due to the intricate internal lines.
The inline construction and rectilinear geometry evoke marquee lighting, etched signage, and classic deco-era lettering, giving the font a sleek, nightlife feel. Its tight, upright posture and repeated interior lines add a synthetic, futuristic edge while still reading as vintage and ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, decorative presence through condensed geometry and an inline cut that adds dimensional flair. It prioritizes stylized impact and period-leaning sophistication over neutrality, aiming for high-contrast visual personality in titles and identity work.
Caps and lowercase share a similarly narrow silhouette, with small apertures and minimal rounding, which amplifies the font’s sharp, architectural character. The internal inline details are prominent at larger sizes and become visually busy when reduced, especially in dense text.
