A heavy, geometric sans with a consistent inline cut running through each stroke, creating a double-line/outlined impression. Forms are largely built from straight segments and broad curves with rounded joins and uniform stroke thickness, giving the alphabet a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are generous and the overall spacing reads open at display sizes, while the inline detail adds extra rhythm and visual texture across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also works well for signage or event graphics that need a bold, graphic presence; for longer text, larger point sizes help preserve clarity of the internal striping.
The inline treatment and chunky geometry evoke classic sign lettering and mid-century display typography, with an energetic, attention-grabbing tone. It feels sporty and upbeat—more about impact and personality than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic display-sans silhouette with added internal articulation, combining a robust, modern structure with a decorative inline that increases visual interest without relying on contrast or calligraphic modulation.
The internal line sits neatly inside the strokes and remains consistent across curves and diagonals, producing a crisp, graphic effect. The design’s strong silhouette stays readable, but the added inline detail makes it most effective when given enough size and contrast to breathe.
