A condensed, blocky sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle counters. The forms are built from straight stems and broad curves, with squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding. A thin inline cut runs through the main strokes, creating a carved, double-wall effect that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are compact and rectangular, spacing is tight, and the overall rhythm feels vertical and sturdy.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and signage where the inline detail can be clearly seen. It also works well for sports or athletics branding, product packaging, and bold title treatments that benefit from a strong, condensed presence.
The inline detailing and compact proportions give the face a retro, sign-and-poster energy with a sporty edge. It reads confident and punchy, suggesting uniforms, team branding, and bold promotional messaging rather than quiet editorial tone.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space while adding visual interest through an engraved inline treatment. The consistent rounded geometry and sturdy construction prioritize clear, poster-like silhouettes and a distinctive, vintage-leaning texture.
The design maintains a strong silhouette at larger sizes, where the inline groove becomes a defining texture. In smaller settings the interior cut may visually fill in, so the style is most effective when it has room to breathe, especially in all-caps lines and short words.
