A slanted, outline-driven sans with an internal inline that creates a double-contour effect. Strokes are monoline in feel with rounded corners and smooth curves, producing a soft, tubular construction rather than sharp mechanical joins. Proportions are condensed with compact sidebearings, and the letterforms keep open counters and clear interior space despite the multi-line treatment. The rhythm is lively and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with a clean, graphic presence that reads best at medium-to-large sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, labels, and apparel graphics where the outline/inline detail can remain crisp. It also works well for short taglines, logos, and punchy callouts, especially when paired with solid fills or contrasting backgrounds to enhance the contour effect.
The overall tone feels sporty and upbeat, evoking vintage athletic lettering, arcade-era graphics, and high-motion display styling. The inline/outline structure adds a sense of speed and dimensional pop while staying lightweight and friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern-retro display voice: compact, slanted letterforms paired with an outline-and-inline construction that adds visual depth without relying on shading. It prioritizes impact and stylistic character over small-size text efficiency.
The outlined construction makes color and background interaction a key part of its look; it can appear airy on light fields or more assertive when paired with fills, shadows, or backplates. The oblique posture and rounded terminals reinforce a forward-leaning, energetic texture in longer lines of text.
