A rounded, geometric sans with heavy, squared-off forms and softened corners. Each glyph is built from thick outer strokes with a consistent inline cut running through the letter, creating a hollowed, double-stroke effect and strong internal rhythm. Counters are generous and mostly rectangular/rounded-rect, and terminals favor flat ends and smooth curves rather than sharp points. The overall construction feels modular and uniform, with clean joins and a slightly condensed, grid-friendly silhouette that stays legible even with the decorative interior linework.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where the inline detail can read clearly: headlines, wordmarks, poster titles, and branded graphics. It also fits packaging, event materials, and tech-leaning or retro-themed designs, especially when set at medium to large sizes to preserve the interior carving.
The inline carving gives the face a retro-futurist tone reminiscent of 1970s–80s display lettering and arcade/sports graphics. It reads energetic and engineered—decorative without feeling chaotic—adding a sense of motion and circuitry-like detail to straightforward geometric shapes.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold display voice with built-in ornamentation, using an inline cut to add depth and visual interest while keeping the underlying letterforms simple and geometric. Its rounded corners and consistent construction suggest an intention to feel friendly and contemporary, while nodding to vintage signage and sporty, futuristic aesthetics.
The inline detail varies in visibility by letter (more prominent in straights and wide curves), which adds texture across words. Diagonals (like V/W/X/Y) show layered striping that intensifies the dynamic feel, while rounded letters (O/Q/G) maintain a smooth, sign-like presence. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, keeping the set visually cohesive.
