Abstract: We study the $epsilon$-level sets of the signed distance function to a planar Jordan curve $Gamma$, and ask what properties of $Gamma$ ensure that the $epsilon$-level sets are Jordan curves, or uniform quasicircles, or uniform chord-arc curves for all sufficiently small $epsilon$. Sufficient conditions are given in term of a scaled invariant parameter for measuring the local deviation of subarcs from their chords. The chordal conditions given are sharp.
