A condensed display face built from heavy, rounded-rectangle forms with a consistent inline channel running through each stroke, producing a double-stroke/striped effect. Curves are squared-off and softly radiused, while verticals dominate, giving the letters a tall, columnar rhythm. Counters are relatively small and geometric, terminals are clean and mostly straight, and the overall construction stays uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for a cohesive, engineered look.
Best suited to short text where the inline detail can read clearly: headlines, poster titles, brand marks, apparel graphics, and venue or wayfinding signage. It also works well for packaging and labels that benefit from a bold silhouette with built-in ornamentation.
The inline carving and compressed proportions evoke vintage industrial lettering—equal parts marquee, arcade, and machine-age modern. It feels bold and attention-grabbing, with a slightly futuristic, schematic tone that reads as both retro and technical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, combining a strong outer silhouette with an internal inline cut to add depth and visual rhythm. The goal appears to be a distinctive display voice that nods to vintage signage while staying clean and systematized.
The inline detail remains visible even on simpler shapes (I, l, 1), helping maintain texture across words. Some lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified constructions, reinforcing the display-focused, geometric personality.
