A tall, condensed display face built from rounded-rectangle outlines with an internal inline that creates a hollow, multi-stroke look. Stems are narrow and mostly vertical, with soft corners and occasional curled terminals (notably in some lowercase forms), giving the alphabet a decorative, sign-lettered rhythm. The counters are largely open and the interior cut-ins/knockouts create a layered, tubular effect that reads like double-line lettering. Width varies by character but overall proportions stay vertically stretched, with a relatively high x-height and compact sidebearings that keep words tight.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, titles, brand marks, storefront or event signage, and packaging where a retro decorative accent is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels, especially when you want an outlined, neon-like presence without filling large areas of ink.
The overall tone is strongly vintage and theatrical, evoking Art Deco signage, marquee lettering, and retro storefront typography. The hollow inline construction adds a neon-tube feel, making the voice lively and attention-seeking rather than formal or text-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, vertically emphatic display voice with a distinctive hollow-inline construction for maximum visual flair. Its geometry and rounded terminals suggest a deliberate nod to period signage and decorative lettering, optimized to stand out in short phrases and brand-forward settings.
The outline-plus-inline construction makes the design most effective at medium to large sizes where the inner detailing stays clear. Curved joins and rounded corners keep the geometric structure from feeling rigid, while the narrow set contributes to a tall, elegant silhouette in headlines.
