A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and broad proportions, built from dense strokes that are split by a consistent inline channel. The inline detail reads as a carved stripe that follows curves and straight segments, creating a layered, dimensional feel without changing the overall stroke weight. Counters are large and open, terminals are blunt, and the shapes lean geometric with circular bowls and steady, even rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and headline-oriented, while the lowercase stays similarly robust with simple, single-storey construction where applicable and a clear, uncluttered silhouette.
Best suited to large-format display settings such as posters, event titles, and punchy headline systems where the inline carving can remain distinct. It also works well for logo wordmarks, apparel graphics, and packaging that benefits from a bold, retro-styled presence. Use generous sizing and spacing to preserve the internal stripe detail.
The inline carving gives the face a bold, retro sign-painting energy with a sporty, marquee-like confidence. It feels fun and attention-seeking, suggesting display typography meant to be seen quickly and remembered. The overall tone is upbeat and promotional rather than formal or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through thick, rounded letterforms while adding personality and depth via a consistent inline cut. It aims to evoke classic sign and athletic-display traditions, providing a distinctive decorative voice for branding and titling.
The inline detail is strong enough to become the primary identifying feature, especially in rounded letters and numerals, where it reinforces a striped, almost three-dimensional effect. At smaller sizes the inner channel may visually fill in, so the design reads best when given room and strong contrast against the background.
