A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and softened corners, built from sturdy strokes that are pierced by a consistent inner inline. The inline follows the outer contour with smooth rounding in bowls and turns, creating a clear double-stroke effect while keeping counters relatively tight. Curves are clean and geometric, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is punchy and uniform, with slightly condensed letterforms and simple, stable numerals.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, logos, and label/packaging work where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also fits badge-style graphics, sports or event branding, and signage-inspired layouts that benefit from strong silhouettes and decorative interior detail.
The inline cut gives the face a confident, throwback flavor associated with classic posters and painted lettering. Its bold, compact shapes feel energetic and attention-seeking, balancing a utilitarian sign style with a friendly, slightly playful personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a simple geometric backbone, adding character through a carved inline that suggests dimensionality and classic display lettering. It prioritizes distinctive headline presence over small-size text economy.
Because the counters and internal channels are tight, the inline detail becomes the main feature and reads best at larger sizes or with generous spacing. The design maintains a consistent internal line weight across straight and curved strokes, helping the alphabet feel cohesive in headings and short phrases.
