A heavy, rounded sans with compact, blocky forms and softly curved corners. Each letter is built from thick, low-contrast strokes that are interrupted by narrow internal cut-lines, creating an inline, hollowed look that reads like carved channels through solid shapes. Curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth and full, while joins and terminals stay blunt and sturdy, giving the design a dense, high-ink footprint. The internal striping is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, producing a strong graphic texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and hero messaging where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also works well for logos, badges, packaging, and sports or event branding that benefits from bold shapes with built-in texture. For long passages, the strong internal striping may be better used sparingly as an accent style.
The inline cutwork gives the face a vintage, sign-painter and athletic-display flavor, mixing bold confidence with a playful, decorative edge. It feels energetic and attention-seeking, with a slightly nostalgic tone reminiscent of mid-century posters and storefront lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a familiar geometric sans foundation, then differentiate itself through consistent internal cut-lines that add dimensionality and a crafted, engraved feel. The goal is a display face that stays sturdy and legible while providing an instantly recognizable texture.
The narrow internal cut-lines create a lively rhythm and can visually shimmer in larger blocks of text, adding texture without changing the outer silhouette. In the sample text, the strong black mass keeps words readable at headline sizes while the internal carving adds personality and a distinctive branded stamp.
