A heavy, geometric display face built from squared, angular forms with flattened curves and clipped corners. Each glyph is constructed with a solid outer silhouette and a consistent inner inline channel that reads like a carved path, creating a crisp hollowed effect. Stroke endings are abrupt and straight, counters are mostly rectangular, and diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z and several numerals) are sharp and clean. Overall spacing and proportions feel compact and block-forward, with simple, engineered shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, team or event branding, game titles, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It performs especially well when set large, where the inline carving and squared counters remain clear and contribute to the distinctive texture.
The inline cut and hard-edged geometry give the font a confident, game-like energy with a clear retro flavor. It evokes sports lettering, arcade signage, and utilitarian industrial marking—bold, loud, and a bit mechanical rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a structured, geometric voice while adding character through an internal inline cut. It aims for a strong silhouette that stays legible at display sizes and carries a retro-industrial, sport/arcade tone.
The inline detailing stays largely consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping long words maintain a steady rhythm while still looking decorative. The squared counters and tight interior channels can visually fill in at smaller sizes, so the design reads best when given room to breathe.
