A rounded geometric sans with an outlined construction and a consistent inline channel running through each stroke, producing a double-line effect. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in O/C/G and the bowls), while terminals are clean and open with minimal modulation. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and sign-like, and the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey shapes (a, g) with generous apertures. Numerals follow the same outline-and-inline logic, maintaining clear silhouettes and even spacing rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display settings where the inline can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, signage, and branding marks. It can also add character to packaging or event graphics, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes with ample spacing.
The inline detail gives the face a vintage display energy reminiscent of neon tubing, athletic lettering, and mid‑century signage. Its friendly roundness keeps the tone approachable and upbeat, while the structured geometry preserves clarity and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing sans with a built-in decorative accent, combining clean geometric construction with a classic inline treatment for instant recognizability.
The interior inline remains visually consistent across straight and curved segments, creating a strong decorative texture in words and headlines. Counters are relatively open, and the outline weight is substantial enough to hold up in large-scale use, where the inline becomes a key identifying feature.
