A condensed outline face built from two parallel, monoline contours that create a consistent hollow channel through each stroke. Forms are predominantly geometric with squared terminals and softly rounded outer corners, keeping counters open and vertical rhythm steady. Curves on C, O, and S are smooth and evenly tensioned, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) stay crisp and tightly drawn. Numerals follow the same double-stroke logic, with simplified, poster-friendly shapes and clear interior space.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, branding, and packaging where the outlined construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for signage or titles over solid backgrounds, especially when a retro or deco flavor is desired.
The double-line outline treatment evokes marquee tubing and Art Deco display lettering, giving the design a stylish, vintage-leaning tone. Its narrow proportions and open interiors feel airy and refined, with a sleek, architectural presence rather than a heavy or playful one.
The font appears designed to deliver an economical, condensed silhouette paired with a decorative double-line outline, prioritizing visual character and refined rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
Because the letterforms are defined only by contours, the look depends strongly on background contrast and size; at larger settings the internal channel reads cleanly and adds distinctive texture. Spacing appears measured to preserve clarity in dense, condensed words, and the overall construction remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
