A monoline sans with an inline cut that splits each stroke into a crisp double-line contour, producing a hollowed, outline-like impression. The forms lean geometric with near-circular bowls (C, O, Q) and clean, straight-sided construction in E, F, H, and N, while joins stay tidy and consistent. Corners are slightly softened rather than razor-sharp, and curves are smooth and even, keeping the rhythm regular across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same inline logic, with open, airy interiors and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and storefront or wayfinding signage where the inline detail can stay visible. It also fits packaging and editorial covers that want a refined retro or Art Deco accent, especially when paired with a simple, solid companion text face.
The inline treatment evokes vintage display lettering, with a bright, marquee-like presence that reads as retro and slightly luxurious. Its light, open color and clean geometry create an airy sophistication that can feel both classic and modern depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, decorative sans with a built-in inline highlight—capturing an outlined, luminous effect without heavy stroke weight. Its consistent geometry and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clean, scalable display typography with a vintage-leaning character.
At text sizes the carved inline detail becomes the dominant feature, so the design reads best when given enough scale and contrast to preserve the interior line. Round letters and wide counters help legibility, while the overall look remains distinctly decorative rather than purely utilitarian.
