A rounded geometric sans with heavy strokes and a consistent inline channel that runs through the letterforms, producing a hollowed, tubular look. Corners are softened, curves are broadly squared-off, and terminals tend to be flat and clean, keeping the silhouette compact and graphic. Proportions are sturdy with a tall lowercase presence and simple, engineered construction; counters are generous and the inline detail is kept evenly spaced, giving the design a uniform rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where the inline detailing can be seen clearly. It works well for sports branding, gaming or tech-themed graphics, packaging titles, and short punchy statements; for longer text, larger sizes and generous spacing will help preserve clarity.
The inline cut gives a streamlined, retro-futurist tone reminiscent of racing graphics, arcade-era signage, and industrial labeling. It feels energetic and confident, with a playful tech flavor that reads as modern while nodding to vintage display aesthetics.
Designed to deliver a high-impact display voice built from sturdy geometric forms, with an inline carve-out to add depth and character. The likely goal is a distinctive, instantly recognizable texture for branding and titling that feels both retro and technical.
The inline treatment becomes a key part of the texture at larger sizes, creating a layered, dimensional effect without relying on contrast or serif detail. The overall set favors bold, simplified shapes and rounded rectangles, which helps maintain consistency across straight and curved forms.
