A geometric sans with monoline, rounded-rectangle construction and an even, modular rhythm. Strokes are drawn as paired outlines with a consistent inner channel, creating a crisp double-line effect around counters and terminals. Curves are smooth and broadly radiused, while joins stay clean and orthogonal, giving the alphabet a tidy, engineered feel. The numerals follow the same rounded, tubular logic, and overall spacing reads open and airy at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where the outlined/inline texture can stay crisp: headlines, brand marks, poster typography, packaging titles, and environment or wayfinding accents. It can also work for short UI/tech labels or event graphics when used sparingly and at sizes that keep the inner channel clear.
The double-line treatment and rounded geometry evoke a retro-futurist, electronic mood—somewhere between neon signage and sci‑fi interface lettering. It feels precise and optimistic rather than industrial, with a playful sheen that comes from the outlined, circuit-like stroke paths.
Designed to translate simple geometric letterforms into a stylized, high-contrast-from-the-background look using an internal channel, delivering a distinctive “outlined neon tube” presence while preserving legible, familiar skeletons.
The inline channel is consistently maintained through curves and straights, so the forms read as “tubed” and luminous even without color. In longer text the internal striping becomes a defining texture, making the face most comfortable when set with generous size and breathing room.
