A geometric outline display face built from monoline strokes with a consistent inner counterline, creating a double-contour effect. Letterforms are predominantly straight-sided with chamfered corners and frequent octagonal geometry, especially visible in rounded characters like O and Q. The outlines are heavy and uniform, with open interiors and crisp joins; curves are minimized in favor of faceted turns. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, with compact forms for I/J and broader, angular constructions for M/W and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or club branding, and energetic packaging where the outline construction can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for signage or UI accents that want a retro-tech, scoreboard-like feel, while extended body text would likely be too visually busy due to the double contour.
The faceted outlines and athletic block construction give a sporty, scoreboard-and-jersey energy with a strong retro arcade flavor. Its hollow, double-line look reads as engineered and graphic, leaning toward signage, uniforms, and game-like UI aesthetics rather than traditional editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate collegiate/athletic block lettering into a stylized outline display, emphasizing faceted geometry and a bold graphic presence. The consistent inner contour suggests a focus on producing a layered, cut-out look that remains uniform across letters and numerals.
Distinctive details include a chamfered, multi-sided O/0, a Q with a small angled tail, and numerals that echo varsity/scoreboard styling through flattened curves and hard corners. The lowercase keeps the same angular logic, with single-story a and g rendered as compact, outlined shapes that maintain the font’s geometric rhythm.
