A condensed, geometric display face built from rectilinear strokes and squared corners, with an even, monoline outer weight. A consistent inline cut runs through most stems and bowls, producing a carved, channel-like interior that reads as a white stripe within black outlines. Curves are largely replaced by squared arcs and stepped turns, and counters tend to be narrow and vertical, giving the alphabet a tall, compact rhythm. Proportions vary by glyph but keep a tight footprint, with flat terminals and frequent right-angle junctions that emphasize a constructed, modular feel.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and period-inspired signage where the inline carving can be appreciated. It works especially well when you want a condensed, high-contrast silhouette with decorative internal structure.
The overall tone is sleek and stylized, recalling early-modern signage and Deco-era lettering while also feeling technical and futuristic. The inline treatment adds a neon-tube or engraved-metal impression, creating a theatrical, poster-forward voice rather than a quiet text demeanor.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display style that combines strict geometric construction with an inline cut for added sparkle and dimensionality. The goal seems to be a distinctive, era-evocative headline font with strong architectural rhythm and clear ornamental identity.
The inline detailing becomes a primary feature at larger sizes, where the internal channels and tight counters read crisply; at small sizes the narrow interior spaces may visually close up. Spacing appears compact, and the square geometry creates strong vertical emphasis across words.
