A geometric sans with squared, rounded-corner construction and a strong outline presence. Each character is drawn with a thick outer contour and a consistent inline channel that tracks the stroke path, creating a crisp, double-stroke look. Curves are smooth and fairly circular (notably in O/C/G), while corners are softened into radiused angles, keeping the texture even across straight and curved forms. Counters are generous and open, and overall spacing reads steady and uncluttered in the sample text.
Best suited for display settings where the inline contour can read clearly, such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and logo marks. It also works well on packaging and branded collateral that benefits from a technical, retro-sport tone, especially when paired with simple supporting text.
The inline detailing and rounded-square geometry evoke retro-futuristic and sporty signage aesthetics. It feels energetic and engineered, with a clean, high-contrast outline effect that suggests motion, technology, and late-20th-century display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing outline-with-inline effect while keeping forms geometric and evenly constructed for consistent impact across letters and numerals.
The inline cut follows the contours closely, producing a layered outline that remains legible at headline sizes and creates a distinctive glow/track effect when reversed or overlaid. Numerals match the letterforms’ squared curves and maintain the same internal channel, giving the set a cohesive, emblem-like feel.
