A geometric sans with thin stems and rounded bowls, featuring a consistent interior inline that reads like a carved channel through each stroke. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while terminals are clean and minimally treated, keeping the overall silhouette crisp. The inline detail follows contours on rounds and runs as parallel tracks on verticals, creating a layered, hollowed impression without breaking the outer form. Proportions are balanced and fairly open, with simple, legible construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display typography where the inline carving can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging titles, and storefront or event signage. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but the decorative interior detail makes it less ideal for dense body text.
The inline cut gives the face a polished, decorative tone that feels reminiscent of Art Deco signage and refined display lettering. Its airy, etched look suggests sophistication and a slightly theatrical glamour while still staying modern and controlled.
The design appears intended to combine a clean geometric skeleton with an engraved inline effect, creating a premium display face that reads as both modern and ornamental. The consistent channeling across strokes suggests a focus on visual rhythm and a crafted, sign-painterly or etched aesthetic.
The double-line channel becomes most prominent on straight strokes and larger counters, producing a strong rhythm at display sizes. At smaller sizes the interior detailing may visually soften into texture, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity.
