A clean geometric sans with open counters and a predominantly monoline skeleton, drawn as an outlined form with a second, slightly offset inner line that creates a hollowed, dimensional effect. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in O, C, Q, and numerals), while joins stay crisp and simplified, keeping the construction legible despite the decorative layering. The shadow/inline treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with even spacing and a steady rhythm that reads as airy rather than dense.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short phrases where the hollow, shadowed construction can be appreciated—such as posters, storefront or event signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when set large with generous tracking, but will generally be less effective for small, text-heavy settings.
The font projects a distinctly vintage, display-forward character—evoking marquee lettering, neon tubing, and early-modernist signage. Its double-line depth adds charm and a touch of theatricality, making text feel upbeat, stylized, and a bit whimsical while still remaining orderly and graphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, dimensional display look through an outline-plus-offset-line approach, balancing geometric clarity with a decorative, sign-inspired presence.
The outlined construction means the design relies on negative space for impact; it looks strongest when given room and sufficient size so the inner offset line doesn’t visually merge. Round letters and bowls carry the personality, and the numerals match the same streamlined, sign-like geometry.
