A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are largely uniform and massy, with a carved inline channel that runs through stems and bowls, creating a crisp, cut-out highlight. Counters are compact and squarish, terminals are blunt, and joins are firm; several forms show small notch-like cut-ins that add a slightly mechanical, stencil-adjacent feel. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s sturdy construction with a tall, robust presence, while numerals follow the same squared, built-from-blocks logic for a consistent texture in set text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, attention-grabbing word shape is needed. The inline channel makes it especially effective for logos, team or athletic identities, event graphics, and bold packaging titling, as well as signage-style compositions that benefit from a dimensional, cut-through look.
The inline cut gives the face a punchy, engineered character that reads as sporty and industrial at the same time. It evokes retro signage and uniform-style lettering while still feeling contemporary and high-impact, with a confident, no-nonsense tone.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact with a built-in highlight effect, combining solid, rounded block forms with an interior carve to add depth and separation. The consistent modular construction suggests an intent toward strong readability in short phrases and brand marks, with a distinctive industrial/sport display voice.
The inline treatment remains prominent even at larger sizes, where it behaves like a built-in highlight and adds depth without requiring an outline. Because counters are tight and the interior channel is narrow, the design favors display settings where the internal detailing can stay clear.
