A heavy, blocky sans with squared proportions, rounded outer corners, and a consistent carved inline that reads like a narrow channel running through the black strokes. Many verticals show a distinctive notched or beveled feel at joins, giving stems a slightly chiseled, mechanical texture rather than perfectly smooth geometry. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular-to-rounded, and terminals tend to be blunt with occasional angled cuts. Overall spacing feels sturdy and display-oriented, with the inline detail adding rhythm and internal contrast across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where the inline carving can be appreciated, such as posters, event graphics, sports or team branding, packaging fronts, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for signage-style treatments or retro-inspired layouts when set large with generous tracking.
The carved stripe and chunky shapes evoke retro signage and industrial labeling, with a sporty, poster-like immediacy. It feels energetic and bold, leaning toward playful toughness rather than elegance, and carries a hint of arcade/comic attitude thanks to the rounded corners and exaggerated mass.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable inline carve—combining sturdy, rounded block forms with a machined, engraved personality for attention-grabbing display typography.
The inline is thin and consistent enough to create a distinctive silhouette at larger sizes, while the interior detailing and tight counters suggest it will look most confident when given room to breathe. Numerals match the same squared, robust construction and inherit the same carved channel for a cohesive set.
