A tightly condensed, upright-leaning inline display face with tall proportions and squared-off, chamfered corners. Strokes read as heavy outlines with a consistent inner inline channel that creates a hollow, sign-painted effect; terminals are crisp and mostly flat, with occasional hooked or stepped details. Curves are built from rounded rectangles rather than true circles, keeping counters narrow and vertical. Spacing is compact and rhythm is strong, producing a stacked, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, team or event graphics, packaging labels, and signage where the inline detail can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want a compact footprint and a vintage-industrial edge.
The overall tone feels retro and mechanical, like vintage storefront lettering, sports numerals, or arcade-era titling. The inline cut lends a lit-sign or engraved impression, giving the face a punchy, attention-seeking character that still feels structured and orderly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed width while adding visual interest through an internal inline cut. Its squared geometry and consistent interior channel suggest a focus on display clarity, rhythmic repetition, and a nostalgic, sign-like aesthetic.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and uniform, while lowercase retains the same condensed geometry for a cohesive set. Numerals are similarly narrow and blocky, matching the squared curvature and internal inline treatment for consistent headline color.
