A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions and softened, rounded corners. Each glyph is built from thick strokes with a consistent inline channel that runs through the forms, creating a carved, double-stroke effect and a strong internal rhythm. Curves are largely rectilinear and chamfered, with compact apertures and counters that keep the silhouettes dense and punchy. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and sign-like, while the lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with sturdy verticals and minimal modulation across the set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and prominent titling where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits sports branding, badge-style logos, and bold packaging labels that benefit from a rugged, carved-in look.
The inline cut gives the face a bold, engineered attitude that reads as sporty and industrial, with a retro scoreboard/jersey flavor. Its dense shapes and crisp channels project confidence and impact, leaning toward display-driven energy rather than subtlety.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact through dense, geometric silhouettes while adding visual interest via a continuous inline carve. The goal appears to be a sturdy display face that evokes signage and athletic or industrial graphics without relying on contrast or delicate details.
The inline treatment remains highly consistent across letters and figures, helping maintain recognition at large sizes. Because the interior channel and tight counters compete for space, small-size settings may need extra tracking and generous line spacing to preserve the cut-in detail.
