A condensed outline sans with monoline contours and generous interior counters. Strokes are rendered as single, clean outer paths with a consistent gap between outline and counter, creating a crisp hollow effect. Forms lean geometric with squared terminals and softly rounded corners in bowls and curves, producing a tidy, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with simple single-storey shapes and compact apertures that keep the texture even in longer lines.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, signage, and logo wordmarks where the outline construction can be appreciated. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes and in high-contrast color combinations where the hollow structure remains clear.
The overall tone feels retro-industrial and architectural, like lettering cut from sheet metal or drawn for technical diagrams. Its airy interiors and precise outlines give it a cool, minimal presence that reads as modern but with a vintage sign-painting and storefront echo.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, space-efficient display voice using an outline construction that adds visual interest without adding fill weight. Its consistent geometry and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity and reproducible lettering for modern graphic layouts.
Because the design relies on outlines rather than filled strokes, the perceived weight changes noticeably with size and background contrast. The narrow set and open interior space help keep large headlines from feeling heavy, while small sizes may need careful handling to preserve the outline detail.
