A heavy, block-built sans with rounded outside corners and crisp chamfered joins that create a compact, engineered silhouette. Strokes are carved with a consistent internal inline, producing a hollowed, double-stroke effect that reads like a routed groove through solid forms. Counters are squarish and tight, terminals are flat, and curves are handled as softened rectangles, keeping the rhythm uniform and highly graphic. Uppercase feels sturdy and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains a tall, sturdy presence with simple, geometric construction and minimal modulation.
Best suited to large-size display settings where the inline carving can read clearly: headlines, posters, event graphics, team/sports branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or game/tech-themed graphics when used with generous size and spacing to preserve the internal detailing.
The carved inline detail and chunky geometry evoke retro arcade cabinets, athletic numbering, and industrial signage. It carries a confident, high-impact tone with a slightly futuristic, machined feel, balancing playfulness (rounded corners) with toughness (dense, blocky forms).
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through dense, rounded-rect geometry while adding distinction via a carved inline that suggests depth and fabrication. The overall construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent groove motif for branding and display typography.
The inline remains visible even in tighter apertures, giving letters a dimensional, badge-like presence. Diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and Z) keep the same groove treatment, helping the design stay consistent across angular and curved shapes, and the numerals match the same squared, display-first logic.
