A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters, drawn with a strong black body, an inner inline cut, and an exterior keyline that reads as a double-outline. Strokes are largely straight and orthogonal with brisk, squared terminals, while curves (C, G, O, S) are rounded but kept taut and thick. The inline is consistently inset, creating a carved, dimensional look that holds up across caps, lowercase, and figures, with slightly irregular, display-driven widths that add a lively rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and team branding, and logo marks where the inline detail and outline can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefits from a vintage, dimensional block-letter look.
The overall tone feels retro and athletic, evoking classic sign lettering and varsity graphics. The layered outline-and-inline construction gives it an energetic, poster-ready presence that reads as bold, confident, and a bit playful rather than formal.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a layered construction—solid mass, carved inline, and crisp outer outline—while maintaining straightforward, legible letterforms. The goal is a classic display aesthetic with enough internal detailing to stand apart in branding and headline typography.
The combination of outer keyline and inner inline produces a strong figure/ground effect, making the letters feel embossed or sticker-like, especially at larger sizes. Spacing appears intentionally open enough to keep the internal detailing from clogging when set in words, though the style is clearly geared toward display use over long-form reading.
