A geometric, monoline outline design built from rounded-corner strokes and generous curves. Letterforms keep a steady, even rhythm with open counters and smooth terminals, while the double-line contour (outer and inner outline) gives each glyph a hollow, tube-like feel. Proportions lean horizontally, with wide rounds in C/O/G and broad bowls in B/P/R; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are crisp but softened by consistent corner radii. Numerals follow the same rounded, open construction, keeping the overall texture light and airy on the page.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and signage where the outline construction can be appreciated. It can also work for logos and packaging accents, especially in contexts that want a neon, tech, or retro flavor; for longer passages, it’s most effective at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The outlined, double-stroked construction evokes neon signage and late‑modern display lettering, giving the face a retro-futurist, upbeat tone. Its clean geometry reads as contemporary and technical, while the hollow styling adds a playful, decorative character.
The design appears intended as a decorative outline sans that mimics illuminated tubing and streamlined geometry. Its consistent monoline contours and rounded construction suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, attention-grabbing display face that stays legible through simple, regular forms.
Because the letters are drawn as contours rather than filled strokes, the design benefits from ample size and contrast against the background; at smaller sizes the inner contour can visually close up. Curves and bowls are the strongest features, producing a smooth, continuous flow in text with consistent spacing and a stable baseline.
