A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and a distinctive inline cut running through most strokes, creating a layered, cut-out look. Stems and bowls are largely monoline in feel, with broad, even proportions and clean terminals. Round letters (O, Q, C) are near-circular, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are sharply constructed yet softened by consistent corner rounding. Numerals follow the same blocky, structured logic, with open counters and clear, graphic silhouettes.
Best suited for large sizes where the inline carving and rounded geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and social graphics where a bold, graphic texture is desirable, while extended body text may feel visually busy due to the internal striping.
The carved inline detail gives the face a lively, vintage display personality reminiscent of mid-century sign painting and poster lettering. It reads as upbeat and attention-seeking, with a crafted, emblematic tone that feels at home in branding and headline settings.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that blends sturdy geometric construction with an ornamental inline treatment, delivering a vintage-inspired, crafted look without relying on serifs or contrast. The goal seems to be instant recognizability and strong poster-level presence.
The inline cut introduces strong internal rhythm and can create noticeable texture in dense text, especially where parallel strokes repeat (e.g., M/N/W). Curved joins remain smooth and consistent, and the design maintains a cohesive, engineered feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
