A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and soft corners, built from broad strokes that read as solid blocks at display sizes. A narrow inline cut runs through the strokes, creating a carved, dimensional effect and adding sparkle to otherwise dense letterforms. Proportions are generally straightforward and sturdy, with wide bowls (O, Q) and blunt terminals; diagonals (A, V, W, X) are thick and stable, and curves are smooth rather than geometric-sharp. The lowercase is simple and robust, with single-storey forms and large, circular dots on i and j, keeping the texture bold and even.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the inline cut can be appreciated and the strong silhouette can carry from a distance. It can work well for logos, badges, apparel, and packaging that wants a retro-athletic or sign-like punch, and for short promotional copy where impact matters more than long-form readability.
The inline carving gives the face a classic sign-paint and vintage athletic feel, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly and approachable. Overall it projects confidence and loud, upbeat energy—more fun and showy than minimal or corporate.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, friendly sans foundation with an inline carve that adds character and a vintage, crafted finish. It prioritizes standout display presence and a distinctive internal detail over neutrality or text-first legibility.
The inline detail is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a cohesive “engraved” look. The dense color and tight internal spaces suggest it performs best when given room—either at larger sizes or with generous tracking and line spacing to avoid dark clumping in paragraphs.
