A geometric sans with rounded bowls and largely monolinear construction, drawn as a solid form interrupted by a consistent internal inline that reads like a carved channel. Uppercase letters lean toward simple, architectural skeletons with clean terminals and generous counters; several forms (notably round letters and numerals) emphasize concentric structure and smooth curvature. Lowercase appears simpler and more single-stroke in feel, pairing open, friendly shapes with occasional single-storey forms and straightforward joins. Numerals are bold and graphic, with the same inline treatment creating a crisp, sign-like double-path effect.
Best suited for display settings where the inline detail can be appreciated: posters, packaging, storefront or event signage, and brand marks. It also works well for short headlines or pull quotes where its decorative interior line adds texture without requiring additional ornamentation.
The inline cut gives the face a lit-tube or marquee flavor, evoking vintage signage and Deco-era display lettering while staying clean and approachable. It feels upbeat and decorative rather than editorial, with a slightly whimsical rhythm that reads confidently at larger sizes.
Designed to deliver a distinctive inline look with a geometric, modern skeleton—combining the clarity of a simple sans with the ornament of an internal channel that suggests illumination or engraved detailing for high-impact display typography.
The inline remains visually consistent across straight stems and curved bowls, creating a strong internal pattern that can shimmer on diagonal-heavy letters. Round characters (O/Q/0/8/9) particularly showcase the concentric effect, while simpler lowercase shapes help keep words from becoming overly busy in longer lines.
