A rounded sans with hollow, contour-only letterforms and an internal inline/shadow detail that creates a doubled-outline effect. Strokes are monoline in construction but read as high-contrast because the counters are open and the interior line sits consistently offset, emphasizing the perimeter. Proportions are generous and open, with soft terminals and smooth curves in C/O/S, while straighter forms like E/F/L keep a clean, geometric skeleton. The overall rhythm is even and highly legible at display sizes, with clear counters and consistent spacing across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, logos, and bold wordmarks where the outline structure can stay crisp and the inline detail remains visible. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefits from a retro, dimensional look, especially over solid color backgrounds.
The style feels upbeat and nostalgic, evoking vintage storefront lettering, mid-century packaging, and casual headline typography. The outline-plus-inline treatment adds a lighthearted dimensionality that reads as energetic rather than formal, making the voice friendly and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to provide a lightweight, dimensional display voice using outline construction and a consistent internal inline to suggest depth without adding fill weight. It aims for broad readability and a cheerful tone, balancing geometric clarity with rounded, approachable forms.
The inline detail functions like a built-in shadow/emboss cue, so the font tends to look brighter and more graphic when reversed out or placed over color. At small sizes the interior line may visually merge, so it’s best treated as a display face where the double-contour can breathe.
