A geometric, extended sans with heavily rounded corners and monoline construction. The letterforms are built from thick, rectangular strokes that are opened up by a consistent internal inline cut, creating a double-stripe effect through most stems, bowls, and crossbars. Curves are broadly squared-off (rounded-rectangle bowls), and joins are clean and mechanical, with occasional angled terminals in diagonals. Counters are generous for such heavy forms, and the numerals follow the same rounded, engineered logic, producing a tight, high-impact texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, poster titles, logo lockups, and identity accents where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also fits entertainment and sports contexts—team marks, event graphics, and product packaging—where a strong, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and performance-driven, like classic sci‑fi titling mixed with motorsport or arcade-era display lettering. The inline detailing adds a sense of motion and circuitry, giving the face a flashy, technical personality that reads as bold and confident rather than subtle.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that combines chunky, rounded geometry with an internal stripe to add depth and visual energy. Its forms prioritize impact and a distinctive silhouette, aiming for recognizability and a stylized, tech-leaning aesthetic in big type.
Spacing appears deliberately compact for a display rhythm, with the inline cut staying visually consistent across straight and curved strokes. The style is highly characteristic and will dominate layouts, especially at larger sizes where the internal striping becomes a key graphic feature.
