A monoline, geometric sans built from thin outlined strokes with a consistent inline detail that reads like a narrow inner track running through each letterform. Curves are clean and circular (notably in O, C, and G), with straight segments kept crisp and evenly weighted for a tidy, engineered feel. Terminals are generally flat and open, counters are generous, and spacing feels even, giving the design a light, open texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same streamlined construction, with single‑storey forms and simple, modern joins.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, editorial covers, and brand marks where the inline outline can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, storefront or event signage, and short UI/graphic accents where a lightweight, decorative sans is desired.
The overall tone is sleek and decorative, blending modern minimalism with a retro display flavor reminiscent of marquee, neon, and Art Deco-inspired signage. Its hollow/inline construction makes it feel refined and slightly futuristic, projecting a polished, boutique sensibility rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary geometric sans with a built-in ornamental effect, delivering a distinctive inline look without introducing heavy contrast or calligraphic influence. It aims for clarity of shape first, then adds style through the hollow track-like detailing.
Because the strokes are extremely thin and rely on interior line detail, the face reads best when given enough size and contrast against the background; at small sizes the inline structure may visually soften. The design maintains consistent geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel cohesive in headlines and short statements.
