A monoline outline face with a distinctive inline treatment that creates a double-stroked, tubular look inside each letterform. Shapes are predominantly geometric with rounded corners and smooth curves, while verticals read straight and steady. Proportions lean narrow-to-standard with tall capitals and compact lowercase, and the overall rhythm is even and carefully regularized. Counters remain open and simple, and terminals are clean, favoring controlled curves over sharp serifs.
Best suited to display settings where the outline-and-inline construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront or event signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments, especially when paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone feels retro and display-forward, evoking marquee lettering, Art Deco signage, and period packaging. Its airy outlines and inner line detail add a sense of elegance and theatricality, giving headlines a refined but attention-seeking presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic outline display look with added inner-line refinement, balancing geometric structure with a decorative, vintage-leaning finish. Its consistent stroke construction suggests a focus on clean reproduction and strong visual identity in large-format typography.
The inline detail is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a crisp, engraved effect that stays legible at larger sizes. Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8) emphasize the font’s smooth geometry, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a clean, constructed feel.
