A heavy, blocky display face built from squared forms with chamfered, octagonal corners. Strokes are carved with a consistent inner inline that creates a double-line, hollowed effect through the letters, giving strong edge definition and a slightly dimensional, engraved feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy with a tall lowercase presence; counters are tight and geometric, and curves are minimized into faceted arcs (notably in C, O, and G). Terminals are blunt and the overall rhythm is steady, prioritizing bold silhouettes and crisp interior cut lines over delicate detailing.
Well suited to sports identities, team marks, and apparel graphics where bold, structured letterforms are expected. It also works for posters, packaging, and headline settings that need high-impact, emblematic typography, especially when used in short phrases, badges, or large-scale display type.
The font reads as sporty and team-oriented, evoking classic jersey lettering and varsity graphics. Its dense black mass and sharp chamfers convey confidence and impact, while the inline adds a decorative, emblem-like character that feels nostalgic and event-ready.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic athletic display voice with a decorative inline that adds depth and distinction without relying on shading or complex ornament. Its chamfered geometry and robust construction suggest a focus on strong silhouettes for branding and signage-style applications.
The inline is treated consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive two-tone look even in simple vertical stems. The faceted geometry gives rounded characters a hard-edged, industrial flavor, and the tight inner spaces suggest it will be most effective at larger sizes where the interior carving stays clear.
