A geometric inline sans built from double contours that create a hollow, outlined look. Strokes are largely monoline, with smooth curves and rounded terminals; corners are mostly softened rather than sharply angular. Counters are generous and the letterforms keep a steady, even rhythm, with circular shapes (O, Q, 0) reading as clean rings and straights kept simple and vertical. The overall construction feels systematic and modular, giving the alphabet a consistent, graphic texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and signage where the outlined construction can read clearly. It also works well for packaging and promotional graphics that want a retro-modern display tone. For longer passages, it benefits from larger sizes and comfortable tracking to keep the inline details crisp and legible.
The inline, double-stroke construction evokes vintage signage and display titling, with a hint of Art Deco and mid-century packaging. It reads as lively and upbeat, leaning toward a “lit outline” or marquee feel while staying clean and orderly.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display personality without using heavy fill, using a consistent double-contour system to create a distinctive, decorative voice. Its geometric proportions and rounded finishing aim for clarity and cohesion across the set, prioritizing graphic impact for titling and brand-forward applications.
The font’s outline structure makes it visually light while still commanding attention through its repeated contour lines. In text samples, the patterned strokes create a distinct color on the page, but the interior gaps and narrow joins suggest it will be most effective when given sufficient size and spacing.
