A heavy, geometric sans with a clean inline channel running through each stroke, producing a carved, two-tier look without relying on contrast. Forms are broadly rounded at corners with sturdy verticals and simplified curves, creating an even, poster-like rhythm. Uppercase shapes feel wide and stable, while lowercase maintains clear, straightforward construction with compact bowls and minimal terminal flair. Numerals and punctuation match the same chunky proportions and consistent internal line treatment, keeping the set visually unified.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where the inline effect can be appreciated—posters, event titles, packaging, badges, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for large-format wayfinding or signage-style graphics, especially when a retro or show-card tone is desired.
The inline detailing evokes vintage sign painting and illuminated lettering, giving the face a nostalgic, attention-grabbing personality. Its chunky silhouettes and crisp interior cut lines read as energetic and slightly theatrical, leaning toward fun, retro branding rather than neutral text typography.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a built-in decorative inline, combining sturdy geometric construction with a sign-inspired inner cut that adds depth and character without additional styling.
The interior inline remains consistently inset and parallel to the outer contour, helping counters and apertures stay legible even at display sizes. The overall texture is dense and graphic, with a strong figure/ground effect created by the continuous inner channel.
