A heavy, blocky sans with squared proportions, softened corners, and an inline cut carved through the strokes. The inline detail reads as narrow internal channels and occasional notches, giving a hollowed, engraved look while keeping the outer silhouette solid and compact. Curves are generous and geometric (notably in O/C/G), while diagonals and joins show crisp, chiseled transitions that create a slightly irregular rhythm. Overall spacing and proportions feel display-oriented, with robust counters and a sturdy, poster-like texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where the inline carving can read clearly—such as packaging, labels, badges, and logotypes. It also works well for short, punchy text on signage or event graphics, especially when a vintage-industrial flavor is desired.
The inline carving and chunky shapes suggest an industrial, retro sign-painting mood—part marquee, part stamped metal. It feels energetic and attention-seeking, with a slightly rugged, hand-tooled character that adds personality without becoming fully script-like or decorative to the point of illegibility.
The design appears intended to combine a stout sans foundation with a decorative inline incision, creating a dimensional, engraved effect while preserving a strong silhouette for display use. The consistent cut-through motif across the alphabet suggests a focus on graphic impact and a distinct, crafted texture rather than neutral text setting.
The inline treatment is prominent at larger sizes and can visually fill in at smaller sizes, so the face performs best when it has room to breathe. Numerals and capitals maintain the same carved-through motif, helping headlines and badges feel cohesive across letters and numbers.
