A geometric sans with open, hollow forms built from an outline and an interior inline that reads like a cut-out. Strokes maintain a largely monoline feel in the outline, while an offset duplicate creates a consistent drop‑shadow/3D edge that adds depth without filling the counters. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O, C, S), terminals are clean, and the overall construction stays crisp and regular across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing feels open, and the shadow direction is consistent, giving the alphabet a structured, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the layered outline and shadow can be appreciated—headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, event graphics, and bold wordmarks. It can also work as an accent face in packaging or social graphics, especially when a retro or neon-like atmosphere is desired.
The combination of outline, inline, and shadow evokes marquee lettering and neon signage, giving the font a lively, display-forward personality. It feels cheerful and slightly theatrical, with a retro-futurist flavor that reads as graphic rather than formal.
Designed as a decorative display face that turns basic geometric letterforms into dimensional, sign-inspired typography through an inline cut-out and a consistent shadow offset. The goal appears to be attention-grabbing clarity with a stylized 3D/outlined effect.
Lowercase mirrors the same outlined-and-shadowed logic with simple, approachable shapes, keeping legibility while emphasizing decoration. Numerals follow the same system and remain clear at display sizes, with the shadow providing strong figure/ground separation on light backgrounds.
