A tall, monoline outline face built from straight-sided geometry softened by generous rounding at corners. The contour stroke is consistently thin, with many letters featuring internal vertical “inline” partitions that echo the outer shape and create a structured, compartmentalized look. Curves are drawn as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while diagonals (notably in V, W, X, and Z) are crisp and linear, giving the design a clean, constructed rhythm. Lowercase forms are similarly narrow and upright, with single-storey a and g and compact, rectangular counters; numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular skeleton and maintain a uniform, sign-like cadence.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and signage where the outlined construction can breathe. It also works well for packaging and event graphics that want a vintage-modern, neon or Deco-leaning mood, especially when paired with solid fills, shadows, or color treatments that emphasize the contour.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and architectural—evoking Art Deco titling, vintage signage, and neon-outline lettering. The repeated internal divisions add a mechanical, engineered flavor that reads as both playful and precise, lending a distinctive display personality even at a glance.
This font appears designed to deliver a distinctive outlined display voice with a built-in decorative system: consistent rounded-rect geometry plus internal inline partitions that add texture without changing the overall silhouette. The goal seems to be strong, architectural letterforms that feel at home in retro signage and stylized titling contexts.
Because the design relies on open outlines and internal striping, it reads best when given enough size and spacing; at smaller sizes the interior partitions can visually merge and reduce clarity. The consistency of corner radii and the squared bowls help keep long lines of text cohesive, while the strong, constructed shapes make individual letters feel emblem-like.
