A geometric outline sans built from smooth, monolinear contours with rounded corners and consistently open counters. Many glyphs use a distinctive double-line/inline construction, creating a layered outline effect that reads like tubing. Curves are broadly circular, horizontals and verticals stay clean and upright, and terminals tend to end bluntly with soft radiusing. Numerals and caps feel modular and sign-like, with simplified joins and an even, steady rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display settings where the outline construction can read clearly—headlines, posters, event graphics, logos, and signage. It also works well for branding that wants a neon/tech impression, and for packaging or labels where a distinctive, airy silhouette can stand out against solid fields.
The layered outlines and rounded geometry evoke neon tubing and late‑20th‑century display lettering, giving the face a retro-futurist, tech-forward tone. It feels lively and slightly arcade-like while still remaining orderly and engineered.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean geometric sans with a bold outline identity, leveraging a double-stroke motif to suggest neon tubing and add visual character without adding fill weight. It prioritizes graphic presence and stylistic coherence over small-size text efficiency.
Because the design relies on outlines and internal gaps, perceived weight shifts strongly with size and background; it appears crisp and graphic at larger sizes and more delicate at small sizes. The double-line treatment is especially noticeable in straight-stem letters and rounded bowls, reinforcing a constructed, schematic feel.
