A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact, blocky letterforms and rounded outer corners. Each glyph is built from a solid stroke structure that is visually split by a continuous inner inline, creating a double-stroked, dimensional effect. Curves are smooth and geometric (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt, maintaining a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing and counters feel moderately tight, and the inline remains prominent at display sizes, emphasizing the font’s cut-through construction.
Best used for short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and logo-like wordmarks. It also fits packaging or promotional graphics where the inlined detail can add visual interest and a sense of motion. At very small sizes the inline may lose clarity, so it performs strongest in display contexts.
The overall tone is athletic and high-impact, with a distinctly retro, jersey-and-signage flavor. The slant and inlined construction add motion and punch, giving the face a lively, attention-grabbing personality suited to bold messaging rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-moving display voice with built-in graphic detail, combining solid sans shapes with an internal inline to create depth and instant emphasis.
The inline treatment reads as a built-in highlight/shadow, which can mimic depth without requiring an actual outline or layered effect. The numerals are sturdy and expressive, matching the letterforms’ rounded geometry and strong forward lean.
