A geometric sans display with rounded bowls and a tall x-height, built from bold outer silhouettes sliced by a consistent inner inline. The carved line tracks along stems and curves like a channel, producing a high-contrast, cut-out look while keeping the overall forms solid and legible. Capitals are clean and broad with smooth arcs (C, G, O), while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize crisp angles; the lowercase maintains open counters and simplified construction. Numerals follow the same logic, with sturdy outlines and the inline running through curves and verticals for a cohesive, stylized rhythm.
Best suited for headlines and display settings where the inline detailing can be appreciated—posters, storefront-style signage, product packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the carved interior line is most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The inline carving and glossy, poster-like contrast give the face a classic showcard feel with strong Art Deco and mid-century cues. It reads confident and theatrical—more “marquee” than “textbook”—and brings a sense of polished spectacle to short settings.
Likely designed as a decorative sans that adds dimensionality and ornament through an internal inline rather than extra weight or shading. The goal appears to be a bold, attention-getting silhouette with built-in highlight lines that evoke vintage lettering and modern graphic punch.
The inline sometimes shifts position to stay visually centered within different strokes, which adds a lively, hand-finished flavor despite the otherwise geometric construction. Round letters and closed forms (a, e, o, 8, 9) showcase the hollowed channel most prominently, creating strong internal sparkle in large sizes.
