A geometric sans with open, rounded-corner construction and an outlined, inline treatment that creates a double-line stroke impression throughout. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q, and the bowls of B/D/P/R), while straight segments are clean and evenly paced, giving the design a precise, engineered rhythm. The letterforms lean on simplified geometry: a single-storey a and g, compact apertures, and gently squared terminals that keep the shapes crisp without becoming sharp. Numerals follow the same logic, with streamlined, modular forms and consistent inline spacing that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, poster titles, logotypes, and branding where the inline outline can read as a feature. It also works well for signage-inspired layouts, packaging, and event or nightlife graphics that benefit from a crisp, luminous look.
The inline outline effect evokes illuminated tubing and architectural signage, producing a distinctly retro-futurist, Art Deco–adjacent tone. It feels sleek and technical rather than soft, with a decorative sparkle that suggests nightlife, transit graphics, or sci‑fi interfaces.
The design appears intended to translate a modern geometric sans into a decorative inline outline system, prioritizing stylistic impact and a consistent, modular construction. Its forms aim to deliver a clean, futuristic feel while maintaining recognizable, straightforward letter shapes for short to medium display text.
Counters and joins are kept open enough to preserve clarity despite the decorative stroke treatment, but the thin, multi-line construction makes the face most confident when given room to breathe. The overall texture is airy and graphic, with a strong emphasis on consistent geometry and repeated radii across the set.
