A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded forms and compact counters. The letterforms are built from thick strokes that stay visually consistent, while a narrow internal striping/inline detail creates a carved, layered look across most glyphs. Curves are smooth and nearly circular in letters like O and C, and straight stems and arms terminate with squared ends, giving the design a sturdy, blocky rhythm. Spacing and proportions feel designed for headline sizes, with simplified joins and wide apertures that keep shapes readable despite the dense weight and interior detailing.
Best suited for large-format display use such as posters, titles, branding marks, packaging fronts, and signage where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text in promotional layouts, but the dense weight and interior striping are most effective when given room and scale.
The overall tone feels retro and energetic, with a confident, high-volume presence suited to attention-grabbing messages. The inline treatment adds a playful dimensionality that reads as decorative and graphic, evoking classic signage and sporty branding without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive inline texture, combining a simple geometric skeleton with a decorative interior treatment to create instant visual identity. Its forms prioritize bold silhouettes and graphic rhythm for attention-led typography.
The inline detail behaves like a consistent inner cut across strokes, producing a bold silhouette with a clear secondary line that adds texture and depth. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky construction, and the design keeps a strong, poster-like color on the page even in longer sample text.
