A heavy, geometric sans with a distinctive inline treatment: a narrow, continuous cut line runs through the strokes, creating a layered, sign-painter effect. Forms are built from broad, even strokes with low contrast and mostly rounded curves, while terminals stay clean and blunt. Counters are generally open and circular (notably in O, C, G, e), and the inline detailing follows the lettershape consistently, including through bowls and diagonals. Proportions read as contemporary and straightforward, with steady spacing and a clear, legible rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where the inline detail can be appreciated—such as posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and signage. It can also work for emphasis in editorial or social graphics when set large with generous tracking and leading.
The inline carve and thick silhouettes give the type a retro display feel with a punchy, poster-like presence. It evokes vintage athletic lettering and mid-century signage, balancing friendliness from the rounded geometry with an assertive, high-impact color on the page.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that adds dimensionality without resorting to shading or gradients. By carving an inline channel through sturdy geometric shapes, it delivers a ready-made decorative voice for bold branding and attention-grabbing typographic statements.
The inline detail creates internal highlights that can visually shimmer at smaller sizes, making the design feel most confident when given room. Numerals are bold and graphic, matching the circular logic of the letters and reinforcing a strong headline personality.
