A geometric sans with monoline strokes built as open outlines, featuring a consistent inline cut that creates a double-line effect through the letterforms. Curves are smoothly drawn and near-circular (notably in O/Q/C/G), while joins and terminals are clean and slightly rounded, keeping the rhythm even and refined. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and wide-set with generous spacing; lowercase forms are simple and modern with single-storey a and g, and minimal modulation. Numerals match the system with the same open, inlined construction, producing a cohesive, airy texture across text.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where the outlined inline construction can be appreciated. It also works well for titling in editorial layouts or event graphics that want a refined, retro-futuristic voice, but will typically be less effective for long passages at small sizes due to its open, detailed stroke structure.
The overall tone is sleek and polished, with a retro-modern flavor reminiscent of Art Deco signage and contemporary sci‑fi interfaces. Its hollow, inlined structure reads as lightweight and precise, giving a sense of sophistication and engineered clarity rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to translate classic geometric signage aesthetics into a contemporary outline-with-inline system, prioritizing visual elegance and a distinctive engraved/channeled stroke effect. It aims for consistent construction and a crisp, architectural presence across a full alphanumeric set.
The inline detail is a defining feature and becomes most apparent at display sizes, where the interior channel and parallel contours remain distinct. The design favors clean geometry over calligraphic nuance, with consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures.
