A clean, geometric sans with monolinear strokes and crisp terminals. Capitals skew slightly condensed and constructed, with firm verticals and wide, circular bowls in letters like C, G, and O; several uppercase forms feature distinctive interior vertical cut-ins/slots that create an inline-like effect. Lowercase is simpler and highly legible, with round dots, open apertures, and a single-storey a and g, producing a straightforward text rhythm. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) and simple, no-nonsense construction across the set.
Works well for headlines, logos, and brand marks where the distinctive capital detailing can carry identity. The clean lowercase and sturdy numerals also suit posters, packaging, and signage where clarity at varying sizes is important.
The overall tone feels modernist and engineered—clean, confident, and slightly industrial. The inline-style detailing in some capitals adds a technical, display-oriented flavor without tipping into ornament, giving it a purposeful, system-like personality.
Likely designed as a geometric sans with a subtle display twist: maintain a functional, readable base while introducing a recognizable signature through selectively inlined/channeled uppercase forms. The result supports both straightforward communication and light brand differentiation.
The contrast between the more decorated capitals and the plainer lowercase creates a natural hierarchy: uppercase reads as emblematic and headline-ready, while lowercase stays neutral for continuous reading. Round forms stay consistent and smooth, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) remain sharp and controlled for a crisp, contemporary finish.
