A sleek, monoline sans with open outline construction and a distinctive inline cut that runs through many stems, creating a double-stroke, hollowed feel. Curves are broadly geometric (notably in C, O, and Q), while terminals stay clean and unbracketed, giving the letterforms a crisp, engineered rhythm. Proportions lean slightly condensed in several capitals, with tall, narrow verticals and generous counters; round forms remain smooth and even. The figures follow the same linear logic, with simple, open shapes and consistent stroke behavior across letters and numerals.
Best suited for display contexts such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and boutique packaging where the outline-and-inline construction can remain clear. It also fits signage and editorial titling that benefits from a retro-modern, architectural flavor.
The overall tone is refined and decorative, evoking signage and titling associated with early 20th‑century modernism. Its airy outlines and inset lines feel upscale and theatrical, reading as stylish rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern decorative outline with an added inline accent, balancing geometric simplicity with a recognizable, premium display signature.
In text, the interior inline and open contours create a lively shimmer that rewards larger sizes, while very small sizes may reduce the visibility of the internal detailing. The design maintains consistent geometry across the set, with a particularly strong presence in round letters and tall vertical strokes.
