A monoline outline face built from double contours that create an inline, hollow effect throughout the alphabet. Strokes are consistently thin with low contrast, pairing straight, squared terminals with rounded bowls and corners for a clean, geometric rhythm. Capitals are relatively tall and compact, while the lowercase shows a smaller x-height and simple, single-storey forms; counters stay open and circular where possible. Numerals follow the same double-stroked construction, with clear, open shapes and minimal internal detailing beyond the outlined structure.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, signage, and logo wordmarks where the outline styling can read clearly. It can also work for packaging accents or short phrases when paired with a solid text face, using the hollow inline look for emphasis and hierarchy.
The double-outline construction reads as bright and sign-like, giving the font a retro display energy reminiscent of neon tubing and vintage storefront lettering. Its clean geometry keeps the tone orderly rather than distressed, while the hollow/inline effect adds a playful, attention-getting sparkle.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, decorative outline voice with a consistent double-stroke motif, prioritizing graphic impact and a sign-paint/neon-inspired silhouette over dense text color. Its restrained geometry and uniform stroke behavior suggest a focus on clean reproduction and rhythmic, repeatable letterforms for branding and titling.
The interior gap between the two contours is tight enough that the design feels crisp at display sizes, but the overall visual color remains light because the strokes are only drawn as outlines. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q emphasize smooth circular motion, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, Y, and Z keep a sharp, angular cadence. Ascenders and descenders are modest, supporting a compact vertical footprint in text lines.
