A heavy, monoline sans with squared proportions and rounded corners, built around solid strokes that are carved by a consistent inner inline. The inline creates a crisp, double-edge effect that reads like an outline-and-inset treatment rather than true contrast. Counters are generous and open, curves are smooth and geometric, and terminals are mostly blunt, giving the set a sturdy, sign-like rhythm. Lowercase forms stay compact and straightforward, while figures are large and blocky with the same inset line, keeping the overall texture even and emphatic.
Best for short-to-medium display settings where the inline can read clearly: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, bold branding marks, and packaging fronts. It can also work for social graphics and event titles where a strong, decorative sans is needed without relying on multiple colors or gradients.
The inset line and chunky construction evoke classic sign painting, athletic lettering, and mid-century display typography. It feels upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a friendly toughness that suits energetic, public-facing messages rather than quiet reading.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a built-in decorative feature: a clean inline that adds character and perceived depth while preserving a solid, legible outer shape. The overall intention reads as a versatile display face that can stand alone as a graphic element.
The inline detail remains visible even in tighter shapes (like S, 8, and e), producing a slightly dimensional, engraved impression. The font’s strong silhouettes and consistent internal carving make it especially suited to single-color treatments where the inline can do the decorative work without additional effects.
