A monoline outline sans with an open, double-stroke construction: each glyph is drawn as a clean outer contour with a parallel inner contour, creating a hollow, tube-like look. Forms lean geometric with rounded corners and smooth curves, while straights stay crisp and even. Counters are generous and apertures are fairly open, giving the letterforms a light, airy rhythm; joins and terminals are simple and consistent, with minimal flourish. Numerals follow the same outlined logic with rounded transitions, keeping a uniform, schematic feel across the set.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and branding marks where the outline construction can read clearly. It also fits packaging and editorial cover use, or layered graphic treatments where the hollow strokes can be combined with color, gradients, or effects for a neon or wireframe look.
The outlined, double-line construction reads like illuminated tubing or wireframe signage, lending a retro-futurist and display-oriented tone. It feels light, modern, and slightly playful, with a technical neatness that suggests diagrams, UI chrome, or architectural linework.
The design appears intended to translate a straightforward sans-serif skeleton into an outline/inline aesthetic that emphasizes negative space and linear precision. Its consistent monoline geometry suggests a focus on clean reproduction and a distinctive, luminous display character rather than dense text setting.
The font’s impact relies on stroke separation and negative space, so it visually benefits from sufficient size and contrast against the background. The consistent outlining makes it especially striking when used as a single-color line graphic or when paired with fills, shadows, or glow effects in layout.
