A heavy, blocky sans with squared construction softened by rounded corners and generous radiused joins. Strokes are massive and largely monolinear, with a narrow inline cut running through the centers that creates a hollowed, sign-paint–like effect. Counters are compact and rectangular-oval in feel, and many terminals resolve into flat, squared ends; a few joins show subtle notches that read like inktrap-inspired cut-ins. The lowercase echoes the uppercase’s geometry, staying sturdy and upright, while figures are chunky and billboard-clear with consistent inline detailing.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and labels that want a bold, stamped or sign-lettered presence, especially at medium to large sizes.
The inline carving and slabby geometry give the face a punchy, athletic tone that feels at home in varsity, arena, and workwear contexts. Its overall impression is confident and loud, with a mild vintage flavor reminiscent of mid-century signage and sports branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight while preserving internal clarity through an inline cut, producing a dimensional, carved look without relying on contrast. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouettes, quick recognition, and a confident display voice.
Spacing appears intentionally robust for display use, with tight interior spaces balanced by the inline to keep forms from feeling overly dense. Diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) stay wide and emphatic, reinforcing a strong, poster-oriented rhythm.
