A wide, rounded sans with a pure outline construction and an internal inline detail that creates a layered, hollow look. Strokes are monoline as contours, with softly squared corners and generous curves on bowls and terminals. Several glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and small notches (notably in E, F, G, S, and some numerals), adding a slightly mechanical, engraved rhythm. Spacing reads roomy and the overall texture is airy due to the open interiors and thin contour weight.
Best suited to big display settings where the outlined, hollow construction can be appreciated—posters, event titling, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve the internal line detail.
The style feels like vintage sign lettering filtered through a sci‑fi/arcade lens—light, buzzy, and attention-seeking without becoming aggressive. The inline accents and cutouts give it a schematic, “built” personality that leans playful and display-forward rather than sober or editorial.
Likely designed as a distinctive display face that prioritizes visual novelty through outline-and-inline layering, combining friendly rounded forms with small engineered cutouts. The intent reads as a modern-retro headline tool that produces a lightweight, dimensional impression without relying on fill weight.
At larger sizes the double-line/inline structure becomes the main feature, while at smaller sizes the fine contours and internal gaps may lose definition. The design has a consistent rounded geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with some intentionally quirky moments (like the tail of Q and the angular treatments in diagonals) that add character to headlines.
