A clean, geometric outline face built from monoline contours with an inner parallel line that creates a double-stroke, inline effect. Letterforms rely on simple circles and straight segments with softly rounded joins, producing even rhythm and consistent stroke spacing. The uppercase set feels constructed and architectural, while the lowercase maintains open counters and clear differentiation; the overall drawing stays crisp and uncluttered despite the hollow structure. Numerals follow the same measured geometry, with rounded bowls and straightforward, legible silhouettes.
Well suited for headlines, posters, brand marks, and signage where an outlined, dimensional line treatment is desired. It also works for packaging and editorial display applications that want a crisp retro-modern tone, especially when paired with solid text faces for body copy.
The font reads as modernist and retro at once, evoking Art Deco signage, neon tubing, and technical drafting. Its airy interior space gives it a light, display-forward presence with a polished, designed feel rather than a handwritten one.
The design intent appears to be a geometric outline display font that mimics double-line lettering used in signage and architectural or industrial graphics. Its consistent construction and rounded forms aim for clarity and style at larger sizes, providing a distinctive decorative voice without heavy stroke weight.
Because the design depends on parallel contours, it benefits from generous size and contrast against the background; tight spacing or very small sizes can cause the inner line to visually merge. The rounded geometry and consistent construction help keep long text surprisingly orderly, but it remains best treated as a display outline rather than a workhorse text face.
