A monoline outline face built from two closely spaced contours, creating a hollow, inline effect throughout. Letterforms are largely geometric with squared terminals and gently rounded corners, producing clean, constructed shapes and an even rhythm. Strokes maintain consistent spacing, counters stay open, and proportions lean slightly condensed in places while keeping a stable cap height and a prominent, readable lowercase presence. Numerals and capitals share the same crisp, drawn-with-a-rule character, with occasional small spur-like details at joins and terminals that reinforce the engineered feel.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, and packaging where the hollow outline can be appreciated. It also works well for logotypes, titles, and large-format graphics where the double-contour detail adds character without relying on heavy weight.
The overall tone feels retro and architectural, like mid‑century display lettering or technical signage rendered as neon tubing. Its airy interiors and double-line construction give it a light, playful presence while still reading as precise and systematic.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean outline display style that reads as both vintage and constructed, emphasizing structure, negative space, and a consistent monoline rhythm for impactful large-scale typography.
The outline-only build means texture depends strongly on size and background contrast; at smaller sizes the inner contour can visually merge, while at larger sizes the inner channel becomes a defining decorative feature. The consistent monoline spacing helps keep mixed-case settings cohesive, and the figures match the same outlined logic for a unified headline palette.
