A geometric sans with monolinear construction and rounded corners, defined by an internal inline channel that runs through each stroke. Uppercase forms are clean and spacious with simplified joins; curves are smooth and near-circular, and straight strokes stay consistent in thickness. The inline treatment is generally centered within strokes and creates a crisp, double-stroke impression, especially noticeable on rounded letters and numerals. Spacing feels open and even in text, with clear counters and a steady rhythm across mixed case and figures.
Best suited to display settings where the inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work. It also fits signage and titles with a retro or nightlife tone, and can add a distinctive, crafted look to short UI labels or section headers when used at sufficiently large sizes.
The inline detailing and streamlined geometry evoke a classic Art Deco and mid-century display feel—polished, decorative, and slightly technical. It reads as refined and stylized rather than utilitarian, giving headlines a glamorous, signage-like presence without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a decorative inline look with modern geometric foundations, balancing legibility with a distinctive, carved-through stroke motif. Its proportions and consistent internal channel suggest a focus on confident, era-referencing display typography for branding and titling.
The inline carving remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the design hold together in longer samples. Rounded terminals and softened corners keep the face friendly despite its architectural structure, while the internal channel adds sparkle and contrast at larger sizes.
