A condensed, geometric sans with hollowed strokes and a consistent inline channel that produces a clean double-line look. Stems are largely monoline with low contrast, rounded terminals, and smoothly squared curves that keep counters open and regular. The caps are tall and compact, with simplified construction and steady spacing; diagonals in V/W/X and the peaked A feel crisp and engineered. Figures follow the same inline treatment, with the 0–9 set reading clearly and the 1 notably minimal.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and signage where its inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or label copy in spacious layouts, especially when a retro or architectural tone is desired.
The inline carving and tall proportions evoke classic Art Deco lettering and luminous sign paint, giving the font a sleek, metropolitan feel. It reads as polished and display-forward—more about presence and rhythm than neutrality—while staying clean enough to feel contemporary.
The design appears intended to translate the look of inline, hollow display lettering into a consistent, systematized alphabet with strong vertical rhythm. Its condensed geometry and carved interior line aim to deliver an eye-catching, sign-like personality while keeping forms clean and legible.
The double-line effect remains consistent across curves and joins, creating a strong decorative texture in continuous text. Rounded corners and generous inner channels help maintain clarity, but the style is inherently graphic and will feel most distinctive at medium-to-large sizes where the inline detail can breathe.
