A geometric outline face built from a single, even contour with generous counters and frequent internal “inline” returns that create a double-track look in many stems. Proportions lean tall and slightly condensed, with squared-off curves softened by rounded corners and smooth, continuous radii on bowls. Joins are clean and mechanical, terminals tend to be flat, and diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, engineered angle. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, modular construction, producing a regular rhythm and strong verticality across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the outlined construction can be shown large and clean. It works well for signage, packaging, and short wordmarks that benefit from a sleek, decorative, engineered feel.
The overall tone feels streamlined and retro-futurist, evoking Art Deco signage and technical labeling at the same time. Its hollow construction reads like lit tubing or engraved outlines, giving it a sleek, display-forward presence that’s more stylish than conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive outlined display style with a streamlined, architectural rhythm, blending Deco-era geometry with a modern technical sensibility. The repeated inner returns and squared rounds suggest an emphasis on a signature “neon/engraved” look rather than plain text reading.
Because the design relies on thin outline strokes and interior returns, spacing and counters do much of the legibility work; it visually opens up at larger sizes and can look busy when set too small. The rounded-square geometry is especially apparent in C/G/S and the boxy bowls, which reinforces a consistent, architectural voice.
