Inline Ehpe 1 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font.
Keywords: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, signage, retro, playful, pop, attention, nostalgia, display, branding, rounded, monolinear, inline, geometric, layered.
A rounded, geometric sans with monolinear construction and an inset inline channel that creates a double-stroke, sign-paint–like effect. Curves are generous and corners are smoothly softened, while verticals and horizontals keep a steady rhythm and consistent stroke presence. Counters are mostly open and simple, with clean, even spacing that supports short headlines; distinctive details like the segmented S/Z forms and the multi-arched lowercase m add character without breaking consistency. Numerals follow the same rounded, inline logic and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where the inline detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and signage. It also works well for short UI banners or social graphics when set at moderate-to-large sizes with comfortable tracking.
The inline cut gives the face a lively, throwback feel associated with mid-century storefront lettering and neon or marquee aesthetics. It comes across as friendly and attention-getting rather than formal, projecting a cheerful, graphic tone suited to bold messaging.
Designed to deliver a bold, graphic presence through an outlined-and-inset structure that evokes dimensional lettering, while maintaining the simplicity of a rounded geometric sans for quick recognition.
The inline channel is drawn with uniform distance from the outer contour, producing a crisp, layered look that remains stable across straight stems and rounded bowls. The overall design favors display clarity; the decorative internal line is prominent and may compete with fine details at very small sizes.
