A heavy, rounded geometric sans with a prominent inline cut that runs through the main strokes, creating a crisp white channel inside each letterform. Counters are generous and mostly circular, with smooth curves and blunt terminals that keep the silhouette compact and sturdy. The design favors simple, blocky construction with consistent stroke mass, producing strong shapes in both uppercase and lowercase, while the inline detail adds layered structure without relying on contrast. Numerals match the overall geometry, with large, open forms and the same carved-through linework for cohesion.
Best suited for large-scale display typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and logo marks where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and bold editorial callouts that benefit from a high-impact, graphic look.
The inline carving and rounded geometry give the font a lively, retro-leaning tone that feels energetic and attention-grabbing. It reads as confident and fun, with a sporty, sign-like presence that suggests display use rather than quiet text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through weight and simplified geometric construction, while the inline cut introduces a distinctive, engraved highlight that adds personality and separation in solid settings. Overall, it aims for an immediately recognizable display style with a retro and sporty sensibility.
The interior inline creates a built-in highlight effect that can appear busier at small sizes, while looking especially crisp and dimensional when set large. The shapes stay clean and symmetric overall, with a consistent rhythm across curves and straight stems that supports strong word images in headlines.
