A tubular outline display face built from rounded-rectangle contours with an inline channel that creates a hollow, double-stroke effect. Letters are constructed from consistent, monoline curves and straight segments with generous radiused corners, producing a modular, almost stencil-like continuity across the set. Counters are often simplified into narrow slots, and many forms use parallel interior lines to suggest structure rather than filled mass. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact with clear baseline alignment and deliberately unconventional detailing in several glyphs.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where the outlined, tubular construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for packaging, event graphics, and signage that benefits from a decorative, high-contrast-against-background outline look.
The font projects a retro-futurist, arcade-and-signage energy with a playful, engineered feel. Its outlined tubing and repeated interior channels read as both decorative and technical, giving text a distinctive, whimsical “circuit” or “neon frame” tone that stands out immediately.
The design appears intended as a statement display font that explores modular, rounded outline construction and pattern-like repetition. Its goal is to deliver a distinctive, retro-tech voice that feels crafted and graphic, prioritizing visual identity over neutrality.
In text settings the continuous outlines create strong patterning, making word shapes feel ornamental rather than quiet. The design favors iconic silhouettes over conventional typographic familiarity, so it performs best when used for impact rather than long reading.
