A chunky, wide display face built from rounded-rectangle forms and simplified, geometric curves. Strokes are heavy and enclosed by a dark outline, with an internal inline cut that tracks the contours to create a layered, dimensional look. Counters are generally open and smooth, corners are softened, and joins are clean and consistent, giving the alphabet a steady rhythm despite the attention-grabbing interior detailing. Numerals and capitals feel especially expansive, while lowercase maintains a friendly, compact structure with single-storey shapes and broad bowls.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the inline detail can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logo marks, product packaging, and bold event or venue signage. It can also work for sporty or retro-themed branding and merchandise, especially where a decorative, high-impact title style is desired.
The inline carving and bold, rounded construction evoke a vintage sign-painting and athletic-lettering feel—confident, upbeat, and a bit theatrical. It reads as energetic and friendly rather than formal, with a showy, poster-ready presence that suggests mid-century display aesthetics.
Designed to deliver maximum shelf-and-screen impact through broad proportions and a distinctive inline carve that suggests depth and craftsmanship. The softened geometry aims for approachable clarity while the interior detailing provides a signature display personality.
The double-line/inline treatment becomes a key texture at text sizes, creating a striped effect inside strokes that boosts contrast and adds movement. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) emphasize the font’s soft geometry, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, graphic snap that prevents the style from feeling too bubbly.
