A heavy, block-based slab serif with compact proportions and squared, slightly chamfered corners. Each glyph is built from solid, geometric strokes that are interrupted by a narrow inline cut, creating a two-layer look with a dark outer mass and a lighter internal channel. Curves are broadly rounded but kept tight and sturdy, while diagonals and joins feel engineered and symmetrical. Counters are small and crisp, and the overall rhythm is dense and uniform, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
Best used for headlines, posters, and logo-style wordmarks where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, badges, and sports or team-inspired branding that benefits from a bold, vintage display voice. For longer text, it will generally work better in short bursts such as pull quotes or labels rather than continuous reading.
The inline carving and chunky slabs give the face a throwback, sign-painter energy that reads as confident and attention-grabbing. It evokes vintage athletic lettering and classic display typography, with a friendly, slightly toy-like heft that keeps it from feeling formal. The result is energetic and emphatic, suited to bold statements and headline moments.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while adding a decorative, engraved-like accent through the inline cut. Its sturdy slab structure suggests a goal of strong, signable letterforms that remain legible at display sizes while providing built-in texture and a sense of depth.
The inline detail adds texture and dimensionality at larger sizes, but it also increases visual busyness, making the design feel most comfortable when given ample size and spacing. Numerals share the same sturdy construction and carved interior, matching the caps for a cohesive, branded look.
