A rounded, expanded display sans with soft corners, squared terminals, and a broadly geometric build. Each character is constructed from heavy outer strokes that are opened up by multiple parallel inlines, creating a banded, cut-through look that reads as layered outlines rather than traditional shading. Curves are generously radiused (notably in C, O, S, and U), while diagonals and joins tend toward crisp, slightly chamfered connections that keep counters wide and forms stable. The overall rhythm is chunky and uniform, with consistent inline spacing that remains legible in both capitals and lowercase, and numerals that match the same wide, track-like construction.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the striped inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, wordmarks, packaging titles, event posters, game titles, and sports or automotive-themed branding. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set with ample spacing and high contrast against the background.
The repeated inlines and expanded proportions evoke speed, circuitry, and late-20th-century sci‑fi and motorsport graphics. It feels assertive and engineered, with a playful retro-tech edge that suggests motion and illumination even in static text.
Designed to deliver a bold, high-impact display voice by combining expanded, rounded sans letterforms with a distinctive multi-inline carving that adds motion and technical texture. The consistent striping and sturdy shapes suggest an emphasis on branding presence and graphic memorability over long-form readability.
The inline carving is prominent enough to become a primary texture, so letterforms read as graphic objects rather than neutral text. The openness of the counters and the rounded geometry help prevent the heavy construction from collapsing, but the striped detailing will visually intensify in smaller sizes or dense paragraphs.
