A geometric display face built from slender, monoline outlines with a consistent inner channel that reads as an inline cut running through each stroke. Forms are rounded and tube-like, with smooth curves on C/O/Q and soft terminals on many joins, while horizontals and verticals keep an even, engineered rhythm. Capitals are clean and fairly open, and the lowercase continues the same modular logic with single-storey a and g, a tall, simple t, and a narrow, curved f; numerals follow the same outline-and-channel construction with clear, rounded counters.
Best used for display typography such as headlines, posters, event titles, logotypes, and packaging where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also suits signage and branding that wants a neon/retro-modern feel, while extended body text may lose clarity as the inner channel becomes too fine at small sizes.
The inline channel and tubular geometry evoke illuminated signage and streamlined modernism, giving the font a distinctly retro-futurist, Art Deco–leaning tone. It feels upbeat and stylized rather than formal, with a sleek, techy charm suited to attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric sans letterforms as a streamlined, multi-line outline system, emphasizing a built, architectural look with a continuous inner channel for decorative impact. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and rhythmic consistency across the set to create a cohesive, sign-like texture in words.
Spacing appears generous, helping the open outline construction stay legible at larger sizes. The inline detailing is the defining feature, so the design reads best when the inner channel has enough pixels/print resolution to remain crisp.
