A chunky, all-caps-forward display face built from squared, modular letterforms with softened corners. The primary strokes are drawn as thick outlines with an internal cut/inline that creates a hollowed, sign-painter feel, while a consistent offset layer produces a crisp drop-shadow effect. Curves are squarish and geometric (notably in C, O, Q, and S), counters are roomy, and terminals tend to be flat with occasional chamfer-like angles. Lowercase mirrors the same sturdy construction and maintains a tall, prominent x-height, keeping words dense and highly legible at headline sizes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where the outline and shadow can resolve cleanly: posters, headlines, badges, team or event branding, storefront-style signage, and packaging systems that benefit from a built-in dimensional accent. It can also work for short UI labels or thumbnails when set large enough to preserve the interior gaps and shadow separation.
The combination of outline, inline detailing, and a hard offset shadow gives a confident, vintage-graphic tone reminiscent of varsity lettering, arcade signage, and mid-century packaging. It reads energetic and attention-seeking, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners and generous counters.
Designed to deliver instant impact through a layered construction—outline plus inline cutouts and an offset shadow—so designers can get depth and contrast without additional effects. The letterforms prioritize sturdy silhouettes and consistent rhythm for bold titling and brand marks.
The shadow sits with a consistent directional offset, creating a strong pseudo-3D rhythm across lines. Numerals match the letterforms’ squared geometry and interior detailing, making them suitable for scoreboards, badges, and titling where figures need to feel integrated rather than neutral.
