A heavy, geometric sans with broad, blunt terminals and a compact, poster-like silhouette. The defining feature is a consistent inline cut running through the strokes, creating a layered, sign-painter effect where the counters and outer shapes stay bold while interior channels add separation. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in C, O, Q, and 0), while straight-sided letters like E, F, H, and N keep a sturdy, squared construction. Spacing and proportions feel headline-oriented, with lowercase forms that echo the uppercase geometry and maintain strong, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where the inline carving can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, storefront-style signage, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for short, energetic phrases in sports, entertainment, or retro-themed designs where a strong graphic presence is needed.
The inline detailing gives the face a vintage display energy reminiscent of classic athletic lettering and mid-century signage. Its bold massing reads assertive and upbeat, while the carved interior lines introduce a crafted, slightly whimsical character that feels fun rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that pairs solid, geometric letterforms with an inline channel to add depth and ornament without sacrificing overall weight. The goal is strong readability at large sizes while delivering a distinctive, vintage-inspired visual hook.
The inline treatment is most visible where strokes are widest, producing strong internal striping and a layered “double-drawn” look. Figures and round letters retain clear shapes at display sizes, and the overall texture stays punchy even in dense settings.
