A chunky geometric sans with wide proportions and a carved inline that runs through the centers of strokes, creating a hollowed, cut-through effect. Letterforms are built from thick, low-contrast strokes with frequent angled terminals, notches, and wedge-like joins that suggest a beveled, faceted construction. Curves (C, O, S) stay broadly round but are stylized by pointed internal counters and sharp entry/exit cuts, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read as bold chevrons. The lowercase follows the same display logic with simplified bowls and pronounced inktrap-like cuts, producing an overall texture that is energetic and patterned rather than smooth.
Best suited to large-size applications where the inline carving and angular detailing can remain crisp: headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and bold packaging or label systems. It also works well for short, high-impact phrases in entertainment, gaming, or event graphics where a distinctive texture is desired.
The inline carving and faceted geometry give the face a retro-futuristic, arcade-title feel with a playful edge. Its strong silhouettes and decorative interior cuts read as attention-grabbing and slightly theatrical, leaning toward pop culture, sci-fi, and novelty branding.
The design appears intended as a decorative display sans that combines sturdy, wide letterforms with a signature carved inline to add motion and depth. Its consistent notching and beveled construction suggest a goal of creating a recognizable, themed voice rather than a neutral text workhorse.
Counters often form eye- or diamond-like shapes due to pointed inner cuts, which becomes especially noticeable in rounded letters and numerals. The inline detail is consistent across glyphs and creates a striped rhythm in text, but the interior cutouts can visually fill in at smaller sizes, making the design feel most at home when set large.
