A condensed, heavy sans with squared geometry softened by rounded corners and a consistent inline channel running through the strokes. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with compact counters and tight apertures that keep the silhouette strong at small sizes. Curves (C, G, O, S) are smoothly rounded, while diagonals and joins (K, M, N, V, W, X) remain crisp and sturdy, creating a steady, poster-like rhythm. Figures are compact and bold with the same inset line treatment, maintaining a uniform, engineered texture across the set.
Best suited to posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and apparel graphics where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also works for signage-style compositions, event promos, and bold label systems that need compact width with decorative presence.
The inline carving gives the face a vintage sign-painting and athletic-lettering flavor, combining toughness with a decorative, slightly playful edge. Its narrow proportions and strong vertical emphasis read as confident and attention-seeking, with a subtle retro-industrial character.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display sans with a built-in ornamental line, evoking classic signage and sporty branding while keeping a consistent, systematized construction across letters and numerals.
The inline detail creates a layered, almost beveled impression without relying on contrast, which can add texture in large display sizes but may soften legibility in dense settings. Spacing appears built for display use, with shapes that prioritize a strong outer silhouette over open internal counters.
