A rounded, monolinear sans with a double-line construction: each stroke is drawn as an outer outline with a consistent inline channel running through it, creating a hollow, neon-tube effect. Curves are generous and corners are softened throughout, with mostly uniform stroke thickness and smooth joins. Proportions are straightforward and readable, with a normal x-height and open apertures; terminals tend to be rounded, and the overall rhythm is even despite slight glyph-to-glyph width variation typical of rounded display faces.
Best suited for display sizes such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for signage-style compositions and short, high-impact phrases, especially where a retro or “neon outline” aesthetic is desired.
The inline outline treatment gives the face a light-up, retro signboard feel that reads as cheerful and approachable. Its soft geometry and airy interiors push it toward fun, casual, and slightly nostalgic moods rather than formal or editorial tones.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, rounded sans structure while adding distinctive inline carving for a luminous, outlined look. It prioritizes personality and visual presence over dense text economy, aiming for strong recognition in display contexts.
The inline is consistently centered within strokes, so counters and interior spaces stay clean even in tighter forms like S, a, and e. Numerals follow the same rounded, outlined logic, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
