A crisp, single-stroke outline design with an internal inline that creates a hollow, channel-like look through most verticals and curves. Forms are narrow and tall with smooth, geometric arcs, minimal stroke modulation, and squared terminals that keep the rhythm clean and architectural. Round letters (C, O, Q) read as near-elliptical bowls with generous counters, while diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and symmetrical, emphasizing a sleek, stylized silhouette. Numerals follow the same outlined logic, with the 2, 3, 5, and 7 showing graceful, poster-like curves and a consistent, delicate contour weight.
Best used at display sizes where the hollow/inline structure can be appreciated—headlines, posters, storefront or event signage, packaging titles, and brand marks. It works especially well on clean backgrounds or with high contrast color pairing to keep the interior channels from filling in visually.
The overall tone feels vintage and metropolitan, evoking marquee lettering and early-modernist signage. Its airy outlines and refined proportions give it an elegant, slightly theatrical presence, suited to designs that want sophistication without heaviness.
The design appears intended as a decorative outline face that merges geometric, Art Deco-inspired proportions with a modern, minimal contour treatment. Its goal is to deliver a refined, attention-getting voice while remaining orderly and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
The double-line construction is most noticeable in vertical strokes and rounded bowls, producing a distinctive "rail" effect that can shimmer at small sizes. Spacing appears relatively open for such narrow forms, helping the outlines stay legible in short words and headings.
