A clean, geometric sans with an outlined construction and a consistent offset shadow that reads like a second layer tucked down-right. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with generous counters and rounded curves on C/G/O alongside squared terminals on E/F/H for a crisp, poster-like rhythm. The outline weight stays even across caps and lowercase, while the shadow adds depth without filling the interior, keeping forms open and legible. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and display-oriented, with simple, high-clarity shapes and minimal ornament.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and social or web graphics where the outline-and-shadow depth can read clearly. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and breathing room, but the open interiors and layered effect are more impactful in larger settings than in dense body text.
The combined outline and shadow effect creates a lively, dimensional tone that feels retro and sign-like. It suggests a cheerful, attention-getting voice—more playful than formal—suited to punchy messages and graphic headlines.
Likely designed to deliver a straightforward, highly legible sans skeleton while adding instant dimensionality through an outline and consistent drop-shadow layer. The goal appears to be a versatile display look that feels energetic and graphic without relying on complex detailing.
Because the primary strokes are hollow, the shadow becomes the main source of dark mass, so spacing and background color will strongly influence perceived weight. The design keeps a consistent shadow direction and offset, which gives lines of text a coherent 3D-like rhythm when set larger.
