A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with rounded corners and a consistent, monoline construction. Each letter is built from a bold outer contour with multiple parallel inline cuts that run vertically through the strokes, creating a striped, hollowed look while keeping the overall silhouette clear. Curves are smooth and fairly geometric, counters are open, and terminals are clean and squared off. The numerals and uppercase share the same narrow set width and steady rhythm, producing a compact, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, event graphics, storefront-style signage, and short branding phrases where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for logotypes and packaging fronts that benefit from a distinctive, retro display voice, particularly in high-contrast color treatments or layered effects.
The repeated inline striping evokes marquee tubing and early 20th‑century display lettering, giving the face a lively, theatrical retro tone. It feels energetic and decorative without becoming chaotic, reading as both vintage and nightlife-adjacent depending on color and scale.
This font appears designed to deliver a decorative inline display effect within a compact, condensed footprint, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent striped motif for memorable titles and branding.
The multi-line inline detail is a key part of the identity and becomes most effective at larger sizes; at small sizes the interior striping may visually merge. The design’s strong vertical emphasis gives words a tight, architectural cadence and makes stacked layouts feel especially cohesive.
