A heavy, block-constructed display face with squared geometry and generously rounded corners. Letters are built from thick, uniform strokes that are split by a narrow inline channel, creating a crisp two-tone rhythm inside the forms. Counters tend to be rectangular with softened corners, and terminals are blunt and stable, producing an overall compact, engineered silhouette. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, with simplified, single-storey shapes and tight apertures that keep the texture dense and graphic.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, logos, poster titles, and branding where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits sports or event graphics, product packaging, and signage-style applications that benefit from a bold, compact word shape.
The inline cut and chunky proportions give the font a retro, scoreboard-like attitude with a slightly arcade and motorsport feel. It reads as assertive and high-impact, with a crafted, sign-painter-meets-machined tone that feels energetic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while adding visual interest through an internal inline cut, evoking dimensional sign lettering without relying on contrast or ornament. Its consistent, modular construction aims for strong silhouettes and a confident, engineered presence in display settings.
At smaller sizes the internal inline channel may visually close up, while at larger sizes it becomes a key stylistic feature and adds depth. Rounded corners help soften the mass, but the tight counters and dense construction keep the overall color dark and attention-grabbing.
