A heavy, block-based display face with squared proportions and rounded interior curves where needed. Strokes are built as solid forms with a carved inner line and a thin outer outline, producing a layered, double-stroke look that reads like a bold fill with an internal inline plus a crisp border. Terminals are mostly flat and orthogonal, with occasional angled cuts on diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y, Z) that keep the shapes punchy and graphic. Counters are generally open and geometric, and the overall rhythm is tight and compact, emphasizing strong silhouettes over delicate detail.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event promos, sports branding, and team or club graphics. The inline detail and outlined construction also suit packaging, stickers, and signage where a bold, dimensional look is desired, especially when paired with contrasting fills or knockouts.
The tone feels energetic and attention-grabbing, with a classic sports/letterman flavor and a slightly nostalgic, sign-painterly edge created by the inline-and-outline construction. The layered strokes add a sense of depth and swagger, making the font feel confident, loud, and designed to be seen from a distance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a built-in dimensional effect, combining a bold block skeleton with an internal carve to evoke traditional athletic lettering and vintage display typography. Its consistent layering suggests it was drawn to perform in large sizes where the inline can contribute texture and depth without sacrificing legibility.
Uppercase forms carry a distinctly varsity-block character, while the lowercase remains sturdy and simplified to match the same weight and layering. The inline detail can visually thicken at small sizes or in busy backgrounds, but it adds strong personality in headline settings and high-contrast color treatments.
