A monoline outline sans with a consistent double-line construction that creates a hollow interior throughout each glyph. Strokes are evenly thin, with smooth, rounded turns and largely geometric proportions; circular forms (O, C, G, Q) read as clean and near-monoline in curvature. Terminals are straightforward and squared-off by the outline logic, while joins stay crisp and uncluttered, keeping counters open and legibility stable at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where the outline effect can be read clearly. It also works well for signage, UI hero text, and large labels, especially when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The outlined structure gives the face a light, airy presence with a contemporary, technical flavor. Its clean geometry and even rhythm can feel playful and graphic, especially in large settings where the hollow construction becomes the main visual feature.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display outline: a clean, geometric skeleton translated into a consistent hollow stroke system for high visual impact without added weight. The emphasis is on clarity, uniformity, and a graphic, scalable look in large-size applications.
Uppercase forms are simple and schematic, while lowercase keeps familiar sans silhouettes with clear ascenders/descenders. Numerals match the same outline logic and rounded geometry, producing a cohesive, sign-like texture across mixed-case text.
