A decorative inline sans built from two closely spaced contours that read like a hollow outline with an inner track. Strokes are monoline in feel, with rounded terminals and softly squared curves that keep corners friendly rather than sharp. Proportions lean geometric, with open counters and clean, simplified construction; curves are smooth and consistent across rounds like C/O/Q, while straight-sided letters keep a steady vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are bold in silhouette and fairly wide, and the lowercase is simple and legible, with a single-storey a and g and a gently curved, hook-like f.
Best suited for display applications where the inline outline can register clearly—posters, headlines, logotypes, signage, and packaging. It also works well for short phrases and themed graphics that benefit from a retro, illuminated look.
The double-line outlining gives the face a marquee, neon-sign energy with a strong Art Deco undertone. It feels upbeat and whimsical, suggesting vintage entertainment, diner signage, or mid-century display lettering rather than sober text typography.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, stylish outline display with a built-in inline effect, evoking classic sign painting and Art Deco-era lettering while staying approachable through rounded geometry and simple, readable forms.
The inline spacing is tight enough to read as a unified stroke at display sizes, creating a strong graphic texture in paragraphs of sample text. The numeral set follows the same rounded, outlined logic, with especially open shapes in 0, 6, 8, and 9 that maintain clarity despite the decorative treatment.
