A blocky, geometric sans with a single-stroke outline construction and an internal inline accent that creates a hollow, sign-painter look. Corners are largely squared with modest rounding, and curves (C, G, O, S) are built from smooth, near-rectangular arcs that keep the forms compact and sturdy. The design uses a consistent contour thickness while the inline/shadow element sits slightly offset, adding depth and a dimensional rhythm without filling the interiors. Uppercase letters are broad and stable with squared terminals, while the lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms and a notably tall x-height that keeps counters open and legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same squared-curve geometry, with clear, wide bowls and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to display settings such as posters, event titles, sports and team branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where a dimensional outline style can do the heavy lifting. It can also work for merchandise graphics and signage when set large enough for the outline and inline detail to remain crisp.
The overall tone feels athletic and retro, reminiscent of varsity lettering and scoreboard graphics, with an added dimensional flair from the inline/shadow detail. It reads as confident and high-impact, with a playful edge that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic outlined athletic aesthetic with a built-in dimensional accent, combining sturdy geometric construction with a decorative inline/shadow for extra punch in display typography.
Spacing appears generous in the sample text, and the outline construction makes the face most effective when used large or with ample contrast against the background. The inline/shadow detail can create visual texture in longer lines, so simpler layouts and short phrases tend to show it at its best.
