An outlined, monoline italic with a consistent double-line construction that reads like an outer contour with a parallel inner track. Letterforms are built from straight segments and rounded corners with frequent chamfered joins, producing an angular, faceted geometry. Curves are simplified into octagonal-like arcs in bowls and numerals, and terminals tend to be flat and slightly extended, reinforcing a sign-painter/industrial feel. Spacing is moderately open for an outline face, keeping counters clear even in dense sample text.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, event posters, team or club branding, and logo wordmarks where the outline structure can read crisply. It can also work for gaming/arcade-style UI labels or packaging callouts, especially when paired with solid fills, contrasting backgrounds, or layered effects.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a distinctly retro-futurist and athletic flavor. The inline outline gives it a neon-sign or varsity decal vibe—graphic, attention-seeking, and a bit arcade-like—while staying clean and schematic rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic outline with a technical, faceted construction—evoking neon tubing, decal lettering, or varsity-inspired graphics. The consistent inline spacing suggests it was drawn to hold up as a clean, scalable display outline rather than as a text face.
The slant is strong and consistent across cases and figures, which amplifies motion and makes the face feel suited to angled layouts. The double-stroke construction creates built-in highlight/shadow logic, so it tends to look best at medium to large sizes where the inner track remains legible.
