A heavy, block-driven sans with broad proportions and rounded curve construction. Many glyphs feature an inset inline detail or split stroke that reads like a cut-out channel, adding dimensional emphasis without changing the overall solid silhouette. Curves are smooth and circular in letters like C, G, O, and Q, while joins and terminals stay mostly square and blunt. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey a and g, compact counters, and a strong, even rhythm that keeps word shapes bold and cohesive.
Best used at display sizes where the inset line work can be appreciated and the strong silhouettes can carry impact. It’s well suited to posters, event graphics, athletic or lifestyle branding, packaging labels, and bold signage where a playful-but-tough voice is desired.
The inline cut-outs and chunky geometry give the type a lively, slightly retro tone that feels assertive and attention-getting. It carries a sporty, signage-like energy—friendly rather than formal—suited to bold statements and upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through large, rounded forms, then differentiate itself with an inline/stenciled accent that adds character and motion. It prioritizes strong presence and recognizability in short phrases and titles.
The inline detailing appears selectively across the set, creating a distinctive patterning effect in headlines and emphasizing curves and diagonals. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic, with generous black area and clear, poster-style presence.
