A heavy slab-serif design with compact proportions and broad, sturdy strokes. A thin inline cut runs through many strokes, creating a carved, dimensional effect that reads like a stripe or channel within the letterforms. Curves are smooth and full (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals), while terminals and joins stay blunt and squared, giving the face a solid, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is simple and robust with single-storey a and g, and overall spacing feels built for large sizes where the internal inline detail remains clear.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where the carved inline detail can be appreciated. It also works well for sports-themed graphics and punchy promotional typography, especially in short phrases and large-scale applications.
The inlined carving and chunky slabs give the font a retro sign-painting and athletic headline energy. It feels confident and attention-seeking, with a playful, slightly theatrical flavor that suggests classic posters, team branding, and bold commercial graphics.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact while adding visual interest through an internal inline groove, evoking vintage signage and bold promotional lettering. The goal appears to be a strong, legible silhouette with built-in ornamentation for branding and titles.
The inline treatment is not purely centered everywhere; it behaves like a cut or groove that follows the stroke direction, which adds a hand-carved, dimensional impression. Diagonal-heavy letters (K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the stripe effect, and the numerals show the same bold, graphic consistency.
