A geometric, monoline display face built from hollow outlines with a consistent inner inline that creates a double-stroke effect. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals), while joins are clean and mostly squared, producing a precise, constructed feel. Capitals are tall and evenly proportioned, with open, uncluttered counters and simplified terminals; the lowercase follows the same modular logic with single-storey forms and a rounded, even rhythm. Spacing appears generous, helping the open outlines stay legible and preventing the inline detailing from filling in at typical display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and brand marks where the inline construction can be appreciated. It can also work well for packaging, venue signage, and title cards that aim for a retro-modern, luminous look, especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The inline detailing and crisp geometry evoke classic marquee and architectural lettering, giving a distinctly Art Deco, nighttime-signage tone. The overall impression is stylish and modernist rather than casual, with a sleek, metropolitan character that reads as polished and slightly theatrical.
The letterforms appear designed to capture a refined, Deco-inspired outline aesthetic with an internal inline that suggests illuminated tubing or engraved striping. The intention is clearly decorative and attention-grabbing, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and rhythmic pattern over dense text economy.
The design relies on consistent parallel contours, so it benefits from clean reproduction and sufficient size to preserve the internal channel. Round letters and numerals feel especially strong, while straight-sided forms keep a disciplined, gridlike cadence across the set.
