A narrow, rounded sans with outline-only construction and a consistent inline gap that creates a double-contour effect. Strokes read as light and even, with smooth curves, softened corners, and gently tapered joins that keep forms friendly rather than mechanical. Counters are open and generous for an outline face, and the overall rhythm is upright and tidy, with simple geometric skeletons and slightly informal detailing in diagonals and curves. Numerals and lowercase follow the same airy outline logic, maintaining clear silhouettes while remaining visually delicate.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, and logo wordmarks where an outlined, neon-like presence is desired. It can also work for packaging accents or short display lines in editorial and social graphics, especially when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The font conveys a buoyant, retro display tone—suggestive of neon tubing, mid-century signage, and playful editorial titling. Its hollow structure feels lighthearted and decorative, giving text a festive, attention-getting character without becoming aggressive or heavy.
The design intention appears to be a lightweight outline display face that delivers a retro, sign-paint and neon-inspired feel while keeping letterforms simple, rounded, and compact. The consistent double-contour treatment prioritizes stylistic impact and a distinctive silhouette in larger sizes.
Because the design relies on thin contours and internal spacing, it appears best when given enough size and contrast against the background. The narrow set and open shapes help keep longer words compact while still readable, but the outline construction will naturally look more fragile at very small sizes or in busy layouts.
