A slanted, monoline sans with outlined letterforms and a consistent inline channel running through each stroke, producing a hollowed, double-line look. Shapes are clean and largely geometric, with smoothly rounded bowls (O, C, e) and crisp joins on diagonals (A, V, W, X). Terminals are mostly straightforward and unflared, keeping the rhythm even, while the inline detailing follows curves and corners closely to maintain a uniform, engineered feel. Numerals mirror the same construction, with open, airy counters and clear separation created by the inner line.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and signage where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can add character to packaging, event graphics, and short UI labels, especially when used at larger sizes or with ample tracking.
The overall tone is bright and upbeat, evoking vintage signage and streamlined mid-century display aesthetics. The outlined-within-outline construction reads like illuminated tubing or engraved striping, giving it a lively, slightly futuristic charm without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, decorative sans that combines an italic forward motion with an inline, hollow construction for a memorable, sign-like presence. Its consistent stroke logic suggests an emphasis on clarity of form while using internal striping to create a signature look.
The inline channel becomes a key texture at display sizes, creating a strong graphic identity even in short words. In longer settings, the internal striping adds visual activity and benefits from generous sizing and spacing to keep the counters and inner gaps clear.
