A heavy, rounded geometric sans with a continuous inline cut that runs through the interior of most strokes, creating a crisp, carved-in stripe effect. Curves are broad and circular (notably in O/C/G), terminals are mostly squared-off, and counters are generous for the weight, keeping forms readable despite the dense black mass. The inline is consistently centered and follows the outer contours, producing a clean double-stroke rhythm in bowls and a clear banding in vertical stems. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and modular, while lowercase is simplified and friendly, with single-storey a and g and compact joins; figures are similarly robust with smooth curves and strong silhouettes.
Best suited to large-scale display typography where the inline can be appreciated—posters, event titles, brand marks, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI hero text, but the interior line detail may soften at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
The built-in inline detailing gives the face a decorative, display-forward energy that reads as vintage and slightly industrial, like painted lettering with a routed highlight. Its rounded geometry and chunky proportions add a playful, approachable tone while still feeling confident and loud.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a single, distinctive built-in ornament: an inline highlight that adds depth without relying on contrast or italics. The rounded, geometric construction suggests an aim toward a friendly retro display voice that remains clear and structurally consistent across letters and numerals.
The inline treatment creates strong internal contrast between black mass and the white stripe, which becomes a primary design feature at larger sizes. Diacritics and punctuation shown (e.g., dotted i/j) keep the same solid-plus-inline construction, supporting a cohesive texture in words and headlines.
