A rounded geometric sans with continuous curves and a monoline construction, drawn as an outline with an internal inline that echoes the outer contour. Corners are consistently softened, bowls are near-circular, and terminals tend toward clean, squared finishes rather than tapered strokes. The letterforms favor open apertures and simplified geometry, with distinctive split-stroke moments in diagonals and joins (notably in forms like K, M, N, V, W, and X) that reinforce the layered line effect. Numerals match the same rounded, architectural rhythm, keeping counters generous and shapes clean at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where the inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging titles, and sign or wayfinding-inspired graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set large enough to keep the interior line from visually filling in.
The inline-and-outline treatment evokes illuminated tubing, signage, and streamlined 20th‑century modernism, giving the font a lively, retro-futurist tone. Its friendly rounding keeps it approachable while the doubled linework adds theatrical presence and a crafted, decorative feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a decorative, signage-forward sans that merges geometric clarity with an inline accent for instant visual character. Its consistent rounding and repeated inner contour suggest an intention to evoke neon/outline lettering while remaining structured and highly stylized for branding and titling.
The inner inline is close to the outer stroke, creating a compact band of negative space that reads crisply at larger sizes and becomes more ornamental as the size increases. Circular letters (O, Q, 0) and rounded lowercase forms carry the strongest personality, while straight-sided letters maintain a consistent, sign-like rigidity through uniform stroke spacing.
