A geometric sans with monolinear construction that reads as a dark outline paired with a continuous inner inline, creating a hollow/engraved effect throughout. Curves are broadly rounded and near-circular (notably in O/C/G), with clean, vertical stems and simplified joins that keep counters open and uncluttered. Terminals are mostly square-cut, and diagonal forms (V/W/X/Y) are crisp and symmetrical. Numerals follow the same double-stroke logic, with a distinctive, built-up look that feels more display-oriented than text-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and logo work where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also works well for signage and event graphics that benefit from a retro, illuminated aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the double-stroke structure stays clear.
The inline-and-outline treatment evokes classic marquee signage and Art Deco-era titling, giving the face a glamorous, stage-ready presence. Its bright, “lit” inner line suggests neon tubing or engraved lettering, lending an upbeat, vintage-modern tone that feels stylish rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a decorative display sans that modernizes vintage inline lettering. By combining a sturdy outer stroke with a consistent inner cut, it aims to deliver a bold silhouette with built-in ornamentation—providing instant sophistication and a sign-painter/Marquee flavor without additional effects.
The inner inline is consistently inset, producing a strong figure/ground rhythm and a noticeable shimmer at larger sizes. Some forms show playful, slightly idiosyncratic detailing (like the Q tail and the layered feel on S and G), which adds character and reinforces its display personality.
