A monoline, geometric outline design built from two closely spaced contour lines that create a clean, hollow stroke effect. Curves are broadly circular and smoothly rounded, while terminals are consistently softened rather than sharply cut, giving the letterforms a polished, tubular feel. Proportions are even and open, with generous counters and a steady rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and symmetrical, and round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as near-perfect bowls. The lowercase is simple and legible with single-storey a and g, a compact, balanced e, and a tall, straightforward f; figures are similarly airy, with round forms for 0/8/9 and clean angles for 4/7.
Best suited to display settings where the outline construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when used at sufficiently large sizes and with ample tracking, but it is primarily a decorative/display face rather than a text workhorse.
The overall tone is sleek and refined, evoking vintage-modern glamour associated with Art Deco signage while still feeling contemporary and minimal. Its light, double-contour construction reads as delicate and sophisticated, with a slightly technical, architectural character.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylish outline look with strong geometric consistency, combining Deco-inspired elegance with a clean modern drafting sensibility. Its double-contour stroke treatment emphasizes lightness and clarity while keeping forms recognizable and orderly.
Spacing and internal white space play a major role in the texture: the double outline keeps strokes visually present without filling in, which makes the face feel spacious at larger sizes. The consistent rounding at joins and terminals helps maintain a cohesive, friendly geometry across letters and numerals.
