A tall, inline outline design built from monoline contours with an internal parallel stroke that reads like an engraved or neon-tube inset. Letterforms are predominantly geometric with squared terminals and frequent chamfered or clipped corners, giving counters a faceted, sign-like construction. The caps are narrow and vertically oriented, with a steady rhythm and minimal modulation; curves are simplified into straight segments where possible (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals). Lowercase follows the same constructed logic, staying upright and compact with simplified bowls and a consistent double-line structure that emphasizes vertical stems and angular joins.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, signage, and brand marks where the inline outline can carry visual character. It can also work for packaging and labels that benefit from a retro-industrial, crafted look, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone feels vintage and architectural, evoking early-20th-century display lettering, theater signage, and engineered drafting aesthetics. The inline treatment adds a decorative, marquee-like sparkle while maintaining a restrained, technical cleanliness.
Likely designed as a decorative inline outline face that combines geometric construction with faceted corners to reference classic sign lettering and Art Deco-era titling. The consistent monoline contours and repeated interior strokes suggest an emphasis on ornamental texture and a fabricated, architectural presence.
The internal inline is most prominent on verticals and major strokes, creating a strong striped texture in words and a slightly busy color on dense text blocks. Angular detailing and clipped corners contribute to a mechanical, fabricated feel that will read best at display sizes where the interior detailing can stay crisp.
