A slab-serif outline design with a single, hairline contour tracing each glyph. The letterforms are built from broad, blocky proportions with squared terminals and small chamfered corners, softened by occasional rounding in bowls and curves. Curves are generous and slightly irregular in places, giving the outlines a subtly hand-drawn feel rather than perfectly mechanical geometry. Spacing reads open and sturdy, with large interior counters and clear silhouettes that remain legible even as outlines.
Best suited to display settings where the outline construction can read clearly—headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can also work as a secondary accent on packaging or apparel graphics, especially when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels sporty and nostalgic, reminiscent of classic display lettering and casual signage. Its light, airy construction and gently uneven contours add a friendly, approachable character that leans more playful than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold slab-serif presence while keeping the texture light through an outline-only build. Its slightly irregular contouring suggests an aim for warmth and personality, making it feel lively and graphic rather than purely typographic.
Uppercase forms project a strong, sign-like presence, while the lowercase keeps a chunky, single-storey, informal rhythm. Numerals match the same blocky slab logic, staying round and open with consistent contour weight across straight and curved segments.
