A condensed, all-caps–friendly display face built from straight, uniform strokes with clipped corners and faceted, octagonal curves. Letters are drawn as open outlines with an interior inline cut, creating a hollow, sign-painter feel, while an offset secondary outline forms a crisp drop-shadow that reads down and to the right. The geometry stays rigid and mechanical—flat terminals, squared bowls, and angular joins—producing high clarity at larger sizes and a rhythmic, gridlike texture in text. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chiseled construction, with simple, hard-edged diagonals in K, V, W, X and a compact, upright lowercase that maintains the narrow stance.
Best suited to display settings where the inline and shadow can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, event flyers, and logo or wordmark work. It also fits environments that benefit from a scoreboard/arcade tone such as sports branding, team graphics, and retro-themed signage; for longer passages, it works more as a decorative accent than as primary text.
The combination of hollow outlines and a built-in shadow evokes vintage scoreboard lettering, arcade cabinets, and painted storefront signage. Its crisp angles and dimensional effect feel bold and energetic, leaning toward playful retro spectacle rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver a compact, high-impact silhouette with built-in depth, using a hollow outline plus offset shadow to create instant dimensionality. The angular, beveled construction suggests an intention to reference vintage industrial and athletic lettering while staying crisp and reproducible.
The shadow component is integral to the letterforms rather than a separate layer, giving the face a consistent pseudo-3D presence. Counters are mostly rectangular and tightly controlled, and the beveled corners help keep round letters from feeling soft or informal.
