A heavy, block-built display face with chamfered corners and predominantly octagonal construction. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning with squared curves, flat terminals, and a consistent, geometric rhythm. Strokes are pierced by a continuous inline cut that reads like a carved channel running through each glyph, producing a layered, sign-paint–style depth. Counters tend to be small and angular, and the overall silhouette stays crisp and sturdy across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports branding, event posters, jersey or merchandise graphics, labels, and bold section headers. The carved inline detail rewards larger sizes where the internal channel can read clearly and adds texture to simple, high-contrast layouts.
The inline carving and faceted shapes evoke classic athletic lettering and vintage signage, giving the font a confident, competitive tone. It feels punchy and assertive, with a throwback spirit suited to team, arcade, or poster-driven aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, athletic display voice by combining sturdy slab-like geometry with a decorative inline cut that adds depth and craft. Its consistent chamfering and angular counters suggest a focus on emblem-style readability and strong, repeatable shapes for branding.
Capitals and numerals appear especially emblematic, with strong, badge-like silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic for consistency. The inline detail is bold enough to remain visible at display sizes and creates a distinctive dimensional effect even in single-color use.
