A heavy, blocky sans with an outlined construction and a consistent inner inline that creates a hollow, double-stroke look. Letterforms are mostly geometric with rounded corners, simplified curves, and sturdy verticals; the lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and single-story shapes where applicable. A hard offset shadow/duplicate layer adds a crisp dimensional effect, reading like a printed sticker or sign lettering. Counters are open and the overall spacing feels display-oriented, with uniform stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best at display sizes where the outline and shadow separation remain clear—posters, headlines, storefront or event signage, packaging callouts, and logo marks that need instant impact. It can also serve as an accent font paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The combination of outline, inline, and offset shadow gives a punchy, upbeat tone with a distinctly retro, poster-like energy. It feels friendly and attention-grabbing rather than formal, evoking headline typography from mid‑century advertising and comic or carnival signage.
Designed to deliver high-impact display typography with built-in dimensionality, using outline/inline structure and a fixed drop-shadow layer to create depth without additional graphic effects. The overall goal appears to be bold legibility and a lively, vintage-leaning personality for attention-driven settings.
The shadow is treated as a separate, consistent offset layer rather than a soft effect, which keeps edges sharp and enhances contrast on light backgrounds. The numeral set matches the same layered construction, supporting cohesive headline and numbering use.
