A heavy, rounded sans with a prominent inline detail: a narrow, continuous inner line that creates a layered outline effect within each stroke. Forms are broadly geometric with softened corners and generous curves (notably in C, G, O, and S), paired with straightforward, blocky construction in E, F, H, and T. Stroke endings are clean and mostly squared-off, while joins remain smooth and consistent. The overall rhythm is steady and compact, with clear counters and sturdy proportions that keep letters legible even with the decorative inner channel.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo wordmarks where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well on packaging and apparel-style graphics, especially when a retro or sporty tone is desired. For long text, larger sizes and ample spacing help preserve the inner-line clarity.
The inline cut gives the face a sign-painting and athletic-title energy—confident and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive. It reads as upbeat and slightly nostalgic, evoking vintage display lettering used for headlines, packaging, and team or event graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, decorative sans with built-in depth and highlight—using an inline to add dimensionality and instant visual interest while keeping letterforms simple, rounded, and highly recognizable.
The inline is generally centered within strokes and follows curves closely, producing a crisp double-stroke impression. In small sizes the interior line may visually fill in, so the design feels strongest where the internal detailing has room to breathe.
