A geometric sans with open, hollowed letterforms and a crisp outline construction. Each glyph is drawn as a clean contour with the interior left unfilled, paired with a consistent offset companion stroke that reads as a cast shadow, creating a dimensional, sign-like effect. Terminals are generally squared and corners are sharp, while bowls and rounds stay smoothly circular, producing a sturdy, poster-friendly rhythm. The shadow offset is even across the set and holds together well at display sizes, with notably strong black accents where the shadow is most exposed.
Best suited for large-format display applications such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging callouts, and signage where the shadow effect can remain legible and graphic. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics, but the outline construction and shadow detailing are likely to lose clarity at small text sizes.
The overall tone feels retro and upbeat, with a playful 3D graphic energy reminiscent of classic storefront lettering, scoreboard titling, and mid-century display styles. The outline-plus-shadow construction adds a sense of motion and impact without relying on heavy fill, giving it a lively, attention-grabbing personality.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable dimensional look through an outline skeleton and a consistent offset shadow, achieving strong presence with minimal fill. Its geometry and steady rhythm suggest it was drawn for impactful display composition and brand-forward typography rather than extended reading.
The mix of hollow counters and the consistent shadow offset makes negative space an active part of the design, so contrast depends strongly on background and color choices. Curved letters (like O, C, G) emphasize the smooth contour work, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) highlight the crisp geometry and the shadow’s stepped edges.
