A streamlined, geometric sans with rounded corners and a consistent linear construction. Each stroke is articulated with an inline cut that creates a double-line, hollowed effect, giving the letters a precise, architectural outline. Curves are smooth and nearly circular (notably in C, O, Q), while horizontals and verticals remain clean and even, with minimal modulation. Proportions feel balanced and open, with generous counters and simple, modern terminals that keep the forms crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where the inline carving can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short brand statements or titling in editorial layouts, but the decorative interior line makes it less ideal for dense body copy at small sizes.
The inline detailing and clean geometry evoke a classic Art Deco mood—refined, metropolitan, and slightly theatrical. It reads as sophisticated and design-forward, with a sense of lightness and glamour that suggests vintage signage and modern boutique branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic inline display voice with modern geometric clarity—combining simple, readable skeletons with a decorative cut to add sophistication and a crafted, sign-painter-like finish.
The inline channel remains consistently placed across straight and curved strokes, producing a coherent “engraved” look. Spacing appears fairly open, and the distinctive interior line adds visual texture that can become the primary graphic feature in headlines.
