A clean, monoline sans with an inline construction that creates a double-stroke look: a slim outline with a consistent inner channel running through the letterforms. Proportions are broadly geometric with round bowls (O, C, G) and straightforward, squared-off joins on E/F/L/T, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and evenly weighted. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and spacing reads orderly, giving the set a tidy, engineered rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same pattern with clear, open forms and a uniform inline detail.
Best suited to display settings where the inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, posters, storefront or event signage, and brand marks that want a sleek retro tone. It can also work for packaging and menu titling when set at larger sizes with comfortable tracking to preserve the inner channel.
The inline detail gives the face a sign-painting and marquee feel—sleek, slightly glamorous, and distinctly retro. It balances refinement with display energy, evoking architectural lettering, art-deco motifs, and neon-tube styling without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined sans foundation with a decorative inline treatment, creating a contemporary-outline meets vintage-signage look. It prioritizes clean geometry and consistent internal detailing to produce a distinctive, high-impact voice for titles and identity work.
The thin outline-plus-inline construction benefits from ample size and contrast against the background, where the inner channel remains legible. In longer lines of text it maintains an airy texture, while the distinctive double-line effect becomes the primary personality cue in headlines and short phrases.
