A heavy, rounded display sans with broad, compact forms and softened corners. Letters are built from thick strokes interrupted by a slim inline cut that reads as a carved highlight, giving the black shapes a dimensional, engraved feel. Curves are full and geometric (notably in O, C, G, and Q), while terminals stay blunt and sturdy; joins are clean and the overall rhythm is even and emphatically weighty. Lowercase appears compact with simple, single-storey constructions and a relatively small x-height compared to the tall, blocky capitals and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, poster typography, wordmarks, and branding that benefits from a strong, graphic silhouette. It works well in sports and entertainment identities, packaging callouts, and signage where the inline accent can provide built-in texture without additional effects.
The inline carving adds a vintage sign-painting and poster sensibility, balancing toughness with a friendly roundness. The result feels energetic and upbeat—suggesting classic sports graphics, arcade-era branding, or mid-century retail signage—while remaining bold and legible at large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive inline highlight, evoking classic display lettering while keeping forms rounded and approachable. It prioritizes bold presence and recognizable shapes over text-size neutrality, making it a characterful option for attention-first typography.
The inline detail is consistently placed and thin enough to function as a highlight rather than a second weight, so it reads best when there is enough size and contrast to keep the internal cut crisp. Numerals and capitals are especially impactful, with wide counters and stable silhouettes that hold up in headline settings.
