A clean, geometric sans with open counters and a double-line construction. Letterforms are drawn with a thin exterior outline and an inner parallel stroke that reads like an inset/inline, leaving a hollow interior. Curves are smooth and nearly circular (notably in C, O, Q), while terminals are crisp and squared, giving the set a precise, architectural feel. Spacing and proportions are even and modern, with consistent stroke offset across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and large-format applications where the hollow inline structure can stay crisp—such as posters, event graphics, storefront or wayfinding signage, and logo marks. It can also add a distinctive accent on packaging or social graphics when used sparingly and with ample size and contrast.
The inline outline treatment evokes vintage signage and illuminated lettering, producing a retro-futurist, neon-like tone. It feels upbeat and decorative rather than utilitarian, with a polished, poster-ready presence that suggests classic display typography and showcard aesthetics.
Designed to deliver a decorative outline-and-inline look with a built-in dimensional/shadow accent, prioritizing clarity of silhouette and a consistent geometric rhythm. The goal appears to be a versatile display face that can mimic neon tubing or engraved inline lettering without requiring additional effects.
The shadow/offset effect is subtle and controlled, functioning more as a built-in dimensional accent than a heavy cast shadow. Numerals match the uppercase in construction and clarity, and the overall rhythm stays consistent in longer text, though the open, double-line forms remain most impactful at larger sizes.
