A condensed, geometric sans with squared curves, crisp corners, and mostly uniform stroke thickness. The defining feature is a consistent inline channel cut through the strokes, giving each letter a hollowed, dimensional look while keeping solid outer contours. Terminals tend to be flat and squared, counters are compact, and the rhythm is tall and tightly spaced, with simplified, angular diagonals in letters like A, V, W, and X. Numerals follow the same boxy construction, with the 0 rendered as a squared form with an internal diagonal slash.
Best suited for display typography: posters, titles, wordmarks, labels, and signage where the inline cut can read clearly. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set slightly larger, but it is most compelling in larger sizes where its carved detail and geometric rhythm become a key part of the visual identity.
The inline carving and rectilinear construction evoke Art Deco signage, machine-era labeling, and architectural lettering. Overall it reads as confident, engineered, and slightly theatrical—suited to settings that want a retro-futurist or industrial mood without feeling ornamental for its own sake.
The font appears designed to translate a carved/engraved inline effect into a clean, consistent geometric system, prioritizing striking silhouette and a distinctive internal channel over text-neutral readability. Its condensed width and squared forms suggest an aim toward space-efficient, high-impact display use reminiscent of vintage industrial and Deco-era lettering.
The inline treatment remains prominent even at small sizes, but its fine internal gaps suggest it will look best when given enough scale or print contrast to keep the interior channels from filling in. The design’s narrow proportions and tall silhouettes create a strong vertical emphasis, and the minimal contrast keeps texture even across long lines.
