A heavy, compact sans with squared geometry, broad verticals, and tight, economical counters. Each glyph is cut by a narrow internal inline that reads as a carved highlight, producing a crisp, high-impact two-tone effect within otherwise solid strokes. Terminals tend to be flat and blunt, with occasional angled cuts and small notches that add a machined, poster-like texture. Spacing and proportions feel headline-driven, with robust capitals and sturdy numerals that maintain the same inset-line logic for strong consistency.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, headlines, branding marks, event graphics, and signage where the carved inline can remain clearly visible. It can also work for short packaging callouts or labels that benefit from a rugged, high-contrast texture.
The inline carving gives the face an assertive, industrial tone—like painted lettering with a scratched highlight or a routed sign. It feels retro and athletic at once, evoking team branding, workshop signage, and classic poster display where toughness and visibility matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an engineered, carved-inline effect—combining solid, blocky letterforms with a built-in highlight to add depth and distinctiveness in display typography.
The inline detail is fine enough to reward larger sizes, where it reads as a deliberate engraving rather than a gap. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with minimal modulation beyond the inset cut, so words form dense, graphic blocks.
