A heavy, rounded sans with squared-off geometry and softened corners, built from broad strokes that are visually lightened by a consistent inline cut running through the letterforms. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, and terminals are blunt, producing a sturdy, uniform rhythm. The lowercase has a tall x-height and simplified shapes, while diagonals and joins (notably in V/W/X/K) keep a slightly angular, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky construction, maintaining strong fill and clear internal openings.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and team branding, badges, and packaging fronts. The inline detailing helps titles and logos stand out on flat color backgrounds and can pair well with simple supporting text in a plainer sans for longer copy.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a sporty, retro-technical flavor reminiscent of athletic marking, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling. The inline detail adds a sense of motion and dimensionality, making the font feel energetic rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, rounded block structure while using an internal inline cut to add depth and styling without relying on contrast. It aims for a modern display voice that nods to retro athletic and technical aesthetics.
The inline carving is kept tight and parallel to the outer contour, reading cleanly at display sizes and creating a layered, badge-like effect. Spacing and silhouettes emphasize solidity and legibility, while the carved line introduces texture that can become the dominant visual feature in larger headlines.
