This typeface is built from open, outlined letterforms with a consistent double-contour effect that reads like an inline gap between strokes. Characters are noticeably expanded with generous horizontal proportions and a forward-leaning slant. Curves are smooth and broadly rounded, while corners and joins stay clean and geometric, giving the forms a crisp, engineered feel. The outline stroke remains fairly even throughout, and counters are largely defined by the inner contour rather than filled shapes, producing an airy, lightweight texture at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, logos, and brand marks where the outlined construction can remain clear. It can also work well for sporty or tech-leaning packaging and promotional graphics, especially when paired with solid companion text for longer reading.
The overall tone feels energetic and retro-futuristic, with a sporty, motion-forward flavor. Its hollow construction adds a playful, neon-sign vibe, while the wide stance and slant suggest speed and modernity.
The font appears intended as a high-impact display face that combines expanded proportions with an outlined, neon-like construction to create movement and visual flair. Its consistent contour logic and rounded geometry suggest a focus on bold branding and attention-grabbing titling rather than body text.
The design relies on its contour structure for impact, so it reads best when there is enough size and contrast for the outlines to stay distinct. The figures share the same expanded, streamlined logic, supporting cohesive headline and branding use.
