A geometric outline face with monoline contours and an internal inline/shadow detail that creates a layered, hollow look. Letterforms are largely constructed from squared skeletons with rounded corners, producing a compact, blocky silhouette while maintaining open counters. Curves are simplified and flattened, terminals are clean and blunt, and several glyphs show small chamfers and cut-ins that emphasize a constructed, sign-like rhythm. The overall texture is airy due to the outline-only strokes, with consistent contour thickness and clear, high-contrast negative space inside the forms.
Best suited to display settings where the outline can stay crisp: headlines, posters, team/athletic identities, product packaging, and large-format signage. It can work for short bursts of text, but the open outline style is most effective when given enough size and spacing to preserve its internal details.
The font reads as retro and sporty, evoking scoreboard lettering, arcade-era signage, and athletic branding. Its outlined construction gives it a lively, graphic presence—bold in shape but light on the page—suggesting a playful, technical tone rather than a formal one.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, attention-grabbing display voice by combining geometric block forms with an outline-and-inline construction. The goal seems to be strong silhouette recognition with an airy fill, making it feel energetic and graphic without relying on heavy stroke weight.
In text, the outline and inline details remain prominent, creating a distinctive double-line effect that benefits from generous size and solid contrast against the background. The simplified geometry and squared curves give it a slightly industrial feel, while the rounded corners keep it friendly and approachable.
