A bold, wide display face drawn as an outline with a consistent inner inline, creating a hollow, double-contour effect. The letterforms are blocky and fairly geometric with gently rounded corners, prominent slab-like serifs on many capitals, and sturdy, squared terminals. Counters are open and spacious, and the outline construction produces strong light–dark rhythm where the inner contour tracks the outer shape closely. Lowercase forms keep the same outlined architecture with simple, readable joins and a compact, no-nonsense structure that stays legible at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, and logo wordmarks where the outline/inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging and promotional graphics when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The outlined, inline construction and chunky proportions give the font a vintage sign-painting and mid-century display flavor. It feels energetic and attention-seeking, with a friendly toughness that reads as sporty and promotional rather than formal or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, decorative outline look that mimics vintage display lettering and sign graphics, emphasizing presence and personality over neutral text performance. The consistent inner inline suggests a goal of creating a ready-made dimensional/striped effect without additional styling.
The numerals and capitals are especially impactful, with broad curves and a uniform outline that maintains visual consistency across straight and round forms. The internal inline adds a decorative stripe that can read like a built-in stroke effect, making the face particularly sensitive to size: it gains character when large and can visually fill in when small.
