This typeface is built from thin, monoline outlines with an inner parallel contour, creating a consistent double-line drawing across the glyph set. Shapes lean geometric with squared terminals softened by rounded corners, and curves are smoothly constructed with even radii. Proportions are straightforward and modern: capitals are fairly wide and stable, while lowercase forms keep simple, single-storey structures (notably a and g) and open, uncluttered counters. Spacing appears generous, and the outline construction remains visually consistent from letters through numerals, preserving a crisp, technical rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and signage where the outlined construction can read clearly. It can also work for logotypes and packaging accents that benefit from a light, linear, neon-like voice, especially when paired with a solid companion for body text.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and signage-like, evoking neon tubing, wireframe graphics, and lightweight architectural lettering. Its airy construction reads friendly and modern rather than formal, with a playful clarity that suits display settings.
The design intention appears to be a clean outline display face that mimics the feel of continuous linework, offering a neon/wireframe aesthetic while maintaining legibility through simple geometric forms and consistent stroke logic.
Because the design is purely outlined with no fill, its perceived weight is highly dependent on background contrast and reproduction method; it will look most stable at larger sizes. The double-line outline adds a decorative edge without introducing texture or shading, keeping the look clean and linear.
