A geometric sans with rounded corners and a consistent, monoline construction. The forms are built from sturdy, continuous outlines with a narrow inline channel running through the strokes, giving each glyph a hollowed, double-stroked look. Counters are generous and mostly circular (notably in O, Q, and numerals like 0 and 8), while terminals are clean and unbracketed. Capitals feel tall and structured, and the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel for a and g, maintaining an even rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where the inline detail can resolve clearly. It works particularly well for posters, signage, branding marks, and packaging that want a retro-modern, architectural feel. For long passages or small sizes, the internal channel may compete with legibility, so more generous sizing and spacing will help.
The inline cut and outlined build evoke vintage signage, marquee lettering, and neon-tube styling, with a polished Art Deco undertone. It reads as confident and designed, leaning more toward display flair than plain utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic geometric sans silhouette while adding an inline, hollowed treatment for high-impact display typography. Its consistent construction and rounded geometry suggest a focus on clean reproducibility in graphic applications reminiscent of vintage sign lettering.
The inline detail adds a strong interior rhythm that becomes a key visual feature at larger sizes, especially in rounded letters and diagonals (V, W, X, Y). The effect is crisp and graphic, with a consistent stroke pattern across letters and numerals that helps keep the decorative treatment cohesive.
