A tightly condensed, vertically oriented display face with squared geometry and monolinear strokes. Each glyph is built from an outer contour plus a consistent inner inline that creates a double-line, hollowed effect, with sharp corners and occasional chamfered/angled terminals. Counters are narrow and rectangular, and many joins form crisp right angles, producing a rigid, architectural rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase structure with a tall, columnar presence, and numerals follow the same narrow, stacked construction for a uniform color in headlines.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, and logo wordmarks where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also add a retro-industrial accent to packaging and title treatments, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and architectural, with an industrial, sign-lettering sensibility. The inline detailing adds a theatrical, neon-tube or marquee-like flavor, giving text a dramatic, stylized presence while staying orderly and precise.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum vertical impact in limited horizontal space while adding ornamental structure through an inline cut. Its consistent geometric construction suggests a focus on strong, repeatable forms that evoke classic sign lettering and Deco-era styling.
The internal inline is consistently offset, reading as a carved channel through the strokes that enhances edge definition at larger sizes. Because the design relies on thin interior gaps and tight counters, it visually rewards generous sizing and spacing where the inline detail can remain distinct.
