A geometric, inline display face built from monoline strokes that read as a double-rule outline with a narrow interior channel. Corners are frequently chamfered into octagonal-like turns, giving rounds (C, G, O, Q, 0) a faceted construction. Stems and bars are straight and clean, with consistent stroke spacing that produces a crisp, engineered texture. Lowercase forms are simplified and linear, and the numerals share the same angular, cut-corner logic for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and signage where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for logotypes and packaging that want a retro-futurist or Deco-leaning voice, especially in single-color applications that emphasize the outlined structure.
The inline channel and faceted geometry evoke Art Deco signage, neon tubing, and drafted letterforms. It feels stylish and metropolitan with a slightly futuristic, marquee-like sparkle, balancing decorative flair with a precise, technical attitude.
The letterforms appear designed to translate the look of outlined, inline sign lettering into a consistent digital alphabet. By faceting curves and keeping stroke behavior uniform, the face aims for a crisp, ornamental display style that remains orderly and repeatable across the full set of capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies on interior line separation for its character, so it reads best at medium-to-large sizes where the channel and double-rule construction remain distinct. The angular treatment of curves creates a uniform rhythm across letters and figures, reinforcing a structured, architectural presence.
