A monoline, outlined display face built from a single thin stroke with a continuous inner inline/knockout that creates a hollowed, tube-like look. Forms are largely geometric with rounded corners and softened terminals, producing smooth bowls in C/G/O/Q and squarish, rounded rectangles in many lowercase counters. Curves and straights meet with consistent radii, and joins are clean and schematic, giving the alphabet a constructed, drawn-with-a-pen rhythm. Proportions lean tall, with compact extenders and open apertures; some letters show distinctive interior cut-ins and small breaks that emphasize the hollow structure rather than filling counters.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, tech-themed UI accents, and short callouts where a distinctive, airy texture is desired.
The overall tone feels engineered and contemporary, like signage made from bent wire or neon tubing, while the internal inline adds a slightly whimsical, gadgety character. Its airy outlines keep it light on the page, and the consistent geometry gives it a retro-futurist, tech-interface vibe without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to translate the look of hollow tubing or wireframe lettering into a coherent alphabet, combining geometric construction with rounded friendliness. The interior inline and occasional cut-ins create a recognizable signature aimed at attention-grabbing display typography rather than extended reading.
The hollow treatment is integral to recognition, so the design reads best when the outline thickness and inner inline remain clearly separated. In dense settings the interior detailing can visually merge, while at larger sizes it becomes a defining texture across words and numerals.
