A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared counters. Strokes are consistently thick and low-contrast, with a narrow inline cut running through the forms that reads as a carved channel rather than a separate outline. Corners are softened with subtle chamfers, terminals are blunt, and spacing feels sturdy and compact. Uppercase is wide and stable, while lowercase uses simplified, single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and a tall x-height that keeps internal openings clear even at large display sizes. Numerals follow the same squarish geometry, with compact bowls and an inset inline that tracks the outer contour.
Best suited to display contexts where the inline carving can be appreciated: headlines, posters, badges, event graphics, sports or team-themed branding, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It’s particularly effective when set large, in short phrases, or in all-caps where the rhythmic, rounded geometry reads cleanly.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a distinctly retro display feel that recalls athletic lettering and arcade-era titling. The inline detail adds a decorative, dimensional accent that makes words feel stamped, cut, or routed, giving a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded industrial feel, using an integrated inline to add visual interest and a sense of depth without relying on contrast. Its simplified shapes and sturdy proportions prioritize clear recognition and strong silhouette in branding and titling.
Diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) stay chunky and graphic, while rounded letters (O, Q, G) emphasize a squircle silhouette. The inline consistently echoes the outer shape and helps maintain legibility by reinforcing the inner structure of counters and joins.
