A tall, streamlined display face built from thin outline strokes with an additional inline/track detail running through many verticals and curves. The construction is predominantly geometric with rounded bowls and straight, vertical stems, producing a clean, elongated rhythm. Corners are mostly crisp while curves stay smooth and even, with consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures. Several glyphs emphasize symmetry and vertical alignment, and the overall spacing feels measured for display use where the internal striping remains legible.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the outline-and-inline construction can be appreciated at generous sizes. It works well for posters, logotypes, packaging, and signage that aim for a refined retro or architectural flavor, and it can add a distinctive period voice to invitations or event branding.
The font conveys a classic Art Deco sensibility—glamorous, metropolitan, and slightly theatrical—while remaining crisp and refined. Its open outlines and linear interior detailing give it a neon-sign or architectural inlay feel, lending a sophisticated retro tone without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret early 20th-century display lettering through a modern, minimal outline approach, using inline striping to add structure and visual sparkle. Its proportions and consistent geometric logic prioritize striking word shapes and a distinctive texture over continuous small-size reading.
The internal inline detail is a defining motif and becomes especially prominent in rounded forms (such as O/Q/0/8/9) and tall verticals, creating a consistent “double-line” cadence across words. The lowercase maintains the same elongated proportions as the caps, and the figures follow the same outline logic, supporting cohesive titling and numbering.
