A narrow, monoline sans with an inline channel cut through the strokes, producing a hollowed, double-contour effect. Letterforms are largely geometric with rounded bowls and clean, straight terminals; curves stay smooth and consistent across caps and lowercase. Proportions are compact with a tall x-height, and counters are kept open despite the interior line, helping the shapes read clearly at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same construction, with simple, modern forms and the inline detail running consistently through curves and straights.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, and packaging where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also works well for short branding phrases and logotypes that want a retro-modern outline look; for small text, the interior channel may become visually busy.
The carved interior line gives the face a classic sign-lettering feel with a distinctly retro, Art Deco-leaning sparkle. It reads confident and decorative without becoming overly ornate, balancing clarity with a bit of theatrical flair.
Designed to deliver a clean, geometric sans structure while adding personality through an integrated inline cut, evoking vintage lettering and decorative titling. The intent appears to be strong visual presence and instant stylistic character in large sizes and prominent placements.
The inline detail is visually prominent and can create texture in longer lines, especially where strokes are thin and closely spaced. The design’s tight proportions and consistent stroke logic make it feel cohesive in all-caps settings as well as mixed-case display text.
