A geometric sans with rounded corners and a monoline feel, built from smooth vertical stems and broad, simplified bowls. Many characters feature a consistent internal cut-out/inline channel that tracks the outer contour, creating a hollowed, double-stroke impression without changing overall weight. Curves are clean and near-circular (notably in O/C/G), joins are soft, and terminals tend to be squared off, giving the design a tidy, engineered rhythm. The lowercase keeps a compact, even texture with single-storey forms and straightforward, schematic construction; numerals match the same rounded, streamlined logic.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display work where the inline cut-outs can read clearly—posters, event graphics, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for large, stylized UI labels or section headers when a retro-futuristic tone is desired, but it is less appropriate for dense body text.
The repeated inline cut-outs and softened geometry evoke classic display lettering with an Art Deco and mid-century signage flavor, while the modular construction also reads as slightly sci‑fi. Overall it feels upbeat and stylized rather than neutral, with a confident, graphic presence that prioritizes pattern and personality.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans skeleton with decorative inline hollowing to create instant visual identity. Its consistent contour-following cut-outs and rounded modular shapes suggest a focus on memorable, signage-like impact and a cohesive, patterned texture across the alphabet.
The internal channels become a strong secondary pattern at text sizes, producing a striped effect in vertical-heavy letters (like H, N, M) and giving counters a distinctive, ornamental structure. Spacing appears geared toward display settings, where the hollow detailing and rounded shapes remain clear and intentional.
