A heavy, blocky sans with broad proportions and softly rounded corners, drawn with a distinctive inline cut that runs through the strokes to create a carved, dimensional look. Curves are generous and geometric, counters are mostly open and circular, and joins stay clean and sturdy, giving the design a stable, poster-weight rhythm. The lowercase is compact and simplified, with single-storey forms and short, straightforward terminals, while figures are large, round, and display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits branding work such as logos, badges, packaging, and event or sports-themed graphics, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The inline detailing and bold silhouettes give the face a confident, vintage-leaning presence reminiscent of mid-century display lettering and athletic graphics. It feels energetic and attention-seeking, with a friendly, approachable tone rather than a sharp or technical one.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that adds depth and character through an inline carve while keeping letterforms simple, robust, and easily readable. Its proportions and rounded geometry prioritize immediate recognition and a lively, graphic presence.
The inline treatment remains consistent across straight and curved strokes, producing a strong stripe-like highlight that reads well at larger sizes. At smaller sizes, the interior cut may visually fill in or compete with tight spaces, so the font is best when given room and scale.
