A geometric sans with heavy, rounded forms and an inline treatment that reads as a narrow white channel running through otherwise solid strokes. Letterforms are built from simple circles and straight segments with softened corners, producing a clean, sign-like silhouette. The inline cut is consistent across curves and diagonals, creating a layered, double-stroke look without sharp contrast. Counters are generous and the overall spacing feels open, helping the busy interior detailing remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and signage where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short brand marks or wordmarks, especially when a retro-modern, decorative sans is desired. For small sizes or dense text, the interior linework may become visually busy, so larger settings are likely to perform best.
The inline carving and rounded geometry evoke a classic showcard/Art Deco sensibility with a modern, polished finish. It feels upbeat and attention-seeking, with a hint of marquee lettering and mid-century display typography. The overall tone is friendly and stylish rather than stern or technical.
Designed to deliver strong, geometric letterforms with added visual interest through a consistent inline cut, creating a dimensional, engraved impression. The construction prioritizes bold presence and a decorative rhythm while keeping the underlying shapes simple and highly recognizable.
Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize the font’s circular construction, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) carry the inline detail cleanly, giving a crisp, graphic rhythm. The digit set matches the letterforms’ rounded terminals and maintains the same internal striping, making it suitable for titling that mixes text and numbers.
