A clean, geometric sans with fully outlined, hollow letterforms and a consistent internal inline that creates a double-stroke effect. Strokes are monoline in feel, with rounded curves and crisp, squared terminals that keep shapes tidy and highly legible. Counters are generous and forms stay fairly regular across capitals and lowercase, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and round letters (O, Q, G, C) maintain smooth, even rhythm. Numerals match the same outlined construction, producing a cohesive, uniform texture in words and lines.
Well-suited for display typography where a distinctive, high-contrast-from-the-background outline look is desired—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging titles, and wayfinding or storefront-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to keep the interior linework readable.
The outlined construction and double-line detailing give the face a bold, graphic presence that reads as retro and upbeat. It suggests storefront lettering and classic athletic or arcade-era display styling, balancing friendliness with a confident, poster-like impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong outline aesthetic with an added inline for extra dimensionality, creating a classic sign-paint and retro display feel while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
Because the design relies on internal negative space, it performs best at sizes where the outline and inline remain distinct; at very small sizes the detailing may visually merge. The even stroke logic and open apertures help preserve clarity despite the decorative construction.
