A very heavy, squared sans with rounded corners and an inline cut running through most strokes, creating a crisp hollowed double-stroke effect. Curves (C, G, O, S) are built from boxy, softened-rectangle forms, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) are straight and assertive. Counters are generally tight due to the thick outer stroke, and the inner inline keeps interior spaces legible even at large display sizes. Numerals follow the same geometric, softened-rectangular logic with clear, poster-like silhouettes.
Best suited for display typography where the inline detail can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging titles, and branding marks. Its sturdy shapes also work well for sports or team-style graphics, apparel prints, and bold UI badges, while extended paragraphs may feel visually busy due to the internal striping.
The inline carving and chunky geometry give the face a confident, athletic tone with a distinctly retro, sign-paint and arcade-era flavor. It feels energetic and mechanical rather than delicate, reading as bold, attention-grabbing, and slightly playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a built-in dimensional accent, combining a heavyweight silhouette with an inline highlight to suggest speed, machinery, and vintage display lettering.
Terminals are blunt and uniform, reinforcing a constructed, modular rhythm. Lowercase mixes compact, simplified bowls with occasional straight-sided forms, keeping the overall texture consistent between cases. The inline detail becomes a defining texture in headlines, where it reads like a built-in highlight or stripe.
