A geometric sans with pronounced contrast and a distinctive “split stroke” construction: many horizontals and curves appear as two parallel bands with a thin white channel between them. Vertical stems are often hairline-thin, while bowls and crossbars carry most of the weight, creating a light-but-graphic rhythm. Forms are largely circular and modular (notably in O/C/G and the rounded lowercase), with squared, flat terminals and generous internal space. Proportions read open and extended, with a tall lowercase profile and clean, disciplined spacing in text.
Best suited to display settings where the channeled strokes and high-contrast structure can be appreciated—headlines, logos, packaging, and poster typography. It can work for short pull quotes or interface titling in larger sizes, but the hairline elements suggest avoiding very small text or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, blending a futuristic display flavor with a refined, minimalist sensibility. The inline/channeled strokes add a technical, almost sci‑fi instrument-panel character, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with a signature inline/channeled motif, creating visual novelty without abandoning legible, familiar letter skeletons. It aims to feel precise and modern, balancing airy lightness with bold graphic accents in key strokes.
Distinctive details include an elliptical O with a visible horizontal channel, a Q with a long diagonal tail, and numerals that echo the same split-stroke idea (especially 6/8/9). The mix of hairline stems and heavier banded curves makes the face feel delicate at small sizes but visually striking when given room.
