A geometric sans built from a clean outer outline paired with an internal inline contour, producing a double-line, hollow letterform. Curves are broadly rounded and evenly tensioned, while horizontals and verticals stay straight and squared-off at terminals, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. Corners are softened rather than sharp, counters are open and spacious, and overall spacing reads generous, supporting clear silhouettes even with the open construction. Figures follow the same outline-and-inline logic with simple, streamlined forms and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where the outline/inline construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, event graphics, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set with ample size and contrast against the background.
The double-line construction evokes neon tubing and display lettering from late‑20th‑century tech and sports aesthetics. It feels energetic and modernist, with a slightly playful, arcade-like tone driven by the rounded geometry and open interiors.
Likely designed as a contemporary outline display face that references neon and technical lettering through precise geometry, rounded forms, and a consistent double-line treatment. The intent appears to prioritize striking presence and stylistic character over dense text setting.
The interior inline closely tracks the outer contour, giving the face a dimensional, sign-paint or channel-letter impression without true shading. Diagonals (such as in V, W, X, Y) maintain the same outline discipline, preserving a consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
