A geometric display face built from rounded, monoline strokes with a consistent inline cut that creates a triple-stripe, tube-like outline effect. Curves are generous and corners are softly radiused, producing smooth bowls and open counters, while straights often terminate with clean, squared ends. The forms lean toward wide, expanded proportions, with a steady rhythm and even spacing that keeps the decorative inline detail coherent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short lines where the inline detailing can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, storefront-style signage, packaging accents, and brand marks with a retro-futurist tone. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles when given ample size and contrast against the background.
The inline striping and rounded geometry evoke vintage signage and early modernist lettering, with a lively, futuristic edge reminiscent of neon tubing. It reads as upbeat and stylized rather than utilitarian, giving text a sleek, retro-tech personality.
The font appears designed to translate the look of layered channel lettering or neon-like tubing into a repeatable typographic system, prioritizing a distinctive inline texture and streamlined geometry for display impact.
The design relies on parallel linework for its character, so the stroke detailing becomes the primary texture at larger sizes. Circular letters and numerals (like O/0) are especially emblematic, while diagonals and joins keep the same multi-line motif for a consistent, engineered feel.
