A heavy, display-oriented sans with rounded corners, compact counters, and an overall blocky construction. Each glyph is built from a dominant solid form paired with an offset, cut-in secondary layer that reads like an internal outline and creates a stepped, dimensional effect. Strokes are uniform in mass but visually articulated by the repeated inner cut and occasional breaks, giving the letters a lively, engineered texture. Terminals are mostly blunt, curves are smooth and generous, and spacing feels sturdy and even for headline settings.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and logo wordmarks where the dimensional detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for playful packaging, merch graphics, and event/promotional materials that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning display voice.
The layered cut-ins and offset detailing evoke a mid-century sign-painting and poster sensibility, mixing a confident, sporty punch with a lighthearted, novelty tone. It feels energetic and attention-seeking rather than neutral, with a strong sense of movement created by the consistent shadow-like offset.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy silhouettes while adding character via a consistent internal cut and offset layer, producing a shadowed, sign-like depth without relying on true 3D modeling. The goal is a distinctive display texture that remains legible while feeling decorative and upbeat.
The 0–9 figures follow the same layered logic and read clearly at large sizes, with especially pronounced interior shaping on round forms like 0, 8, and 9. The effect is most striking in all-caps and short words, where the repeated inner offsets create a strong rhythm across a line.
