A condensed, high-contrast inline sans with clean, straight strokes and rounded bowls, where a thin white channel is cut through most main stems and curves to create a carved, double-stroke impression. The design is largely monoline in its outer silhouette, with the inline detail providing the primary contrast and sparkle rather than traditional thick–thin modulation. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, counters are open and neatly proportioned, and the overall rhythm is tall and airy with compact widths and consistent spacing. Figures follow the same inline construction, with simplified, poster-friendly forms that read clearly at display sizes.
This font suits display typography where the inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, storefront and event signage, packaging accents, and brand marks aiming for a refined retro feel. It works best at medium-to-large sizes and in high-contrast color pairings where the carved interior line remains crisp.
The inline engraving effect gives the face a polished, decorative tone that feels vintage and metropolitan, evoking classic signage and refined nightlife posters. Its narrow stance and sharp clarity add a confident, stylish edge—more theatrical than neutral—while staying orderly and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic inline, engraved effect within a streamlined condensed sans structure, balancing decorative flair with straightforward letterforms for impactful, stylish display setting.
The inline cut varies slightly in placement through curves and joins, producing a lively, hand-finished sparkle in letters like S, G, and 8, and a distinctly outlined look in diagonals such as V, W, and X. Round letters maintain smooth curves without excessive flourishes, keeping the ornamentation focused on the internal channel rather than external serifs or swashes.
