A geometric, outline-driven design with rounded corners and monoline contours. Many glyphs feature an inline/double-line treatment—an outer outline paired with a secondary inner stroke—creating a hollow, sign-like construction and emphasizing open counters. Curves are smooth and circular, stems are straight and evenly weighted, and terminals tend to be softly squared rather than sharp. Proportions run on the generous side with ample spacing and a calm, even rhythm, while distinctive forms (notably in S, G, Q, and numerals) lean into stylized geometry over strict typographic convention.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short copy where the outline/inline construction can read cleanly. It also works well for logos, signage, packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a retro or neon-inspired look. At smaller sizes, the internal detailing may soften, so it performs most confidently in medium-to-large display settings.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and Art Deco–adjacent, like vintage signage or streamlined architectural lettering. The outlined, inline construction reads as airy and luminous, suggesting a neon or marquee sensibility. Despite the formal geometry, the rounded joins and quirky details keep it friendly and slightly playful.
The font appears intended to deliver a decorative, outline-based alphabet with a consistent geometric system and an attention-grabbing inline motif. Its stylized construction prioritizes personality and visual texture, aiming for a streamlined, period-flavored display voice rather than a neutral text style.
In longer text, the internal inline and open shapes create a textured pattern that is visually engaging but more suited to display sizes than dense body copy. The design’s consistency comes from repeated use of rounded corners, circular bowls, and parallel contour lines that echo across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
