A rounded, geometric sans with heavy strokes and softened corners, featuring a continuous inline cut that creates a double-stroke, layered look. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in O/C/G), while verticals and horizontals remain straight and sturdy, giving the design a stable, sign-like structure. Counters are generous and open, and terminals are mostly flat with slight rounding, keeping shapes clear even with the internal striping. Diagonals and joins (K, M, N, V, W, X) are simplified and sturdy, prioritizing bold silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and signage where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can work for subheads and short callouts, especially at medium to large sizes, where the interior line remains crisp and contributes to the font’s graphic personality.
The inline carving and chunky, rounded construction convey a cheerful retro tone with a touch of marquee and mid-century signage. It reads as approachable and upbeat, with a graphic flair that feels at home in entertainment and casual branding contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with built-in ornamentation, using an internal inline to add texture and a dimensional, crafted feel while keeping letterforms simple and highly recognizable.
The inline is consistently placed and follows the outer contour closely, emphasizing the letter skeleton and creating a strong sense of depth without relying on contrast. Numerals mirror the same rounded, display-forward construction, maintaining a cohesive rhythm across the set.
