A condensed, all-outline sans with squared geometry and softly rounded corners. Letterforms are built from a consistent, single contour stroke that creates a hollow interior, producing crisp counters and a clean, linear rhythm. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, curves are simplified into rounded rectangles, and joins stay tidy and mechanical. The alphabet maintains uniform cap height and a straightforward, modern construction, with figures and punctuation matching the same outlined, tubular feel.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging accents, and wayfinding or label-style signage where the outline effect can be appreciated. It can also work for sporty or industrial themes on apparel graphics and event materials, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The outlined construction and condensed proportions give it a sporty, retro-technical voice—confident, punchy, and engineered rather than expressive. It reads like signage or equipment labeling, with a slightly vintage scoreboard/jersey-number energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold visual silhouette without filling in the interior—an outline look that stays clean, compact, and highly legible for a decorative sans. Its consistent geometry suggests a purpose-built display face for modern, technical, or retro athletic contexts.
Because the design is entirely contour-based, the font’s presence depends strongly on size and background contrast; the outlines look especially clear at larger settings. The narrow set and even stroke treatment create a tight, economical texture in words, while the rectangular rounding keeps the tone friendly instead of harsh.
