A heavy, compact sans with broad, rounded corners and mostly uniform stroke thickness. A fine inline cut runs through the strokes, creating a carved, layered look that stays consistent across curves and straight segments. Counters are generous for the weight, and terminals are blunt, giving letters a sturdy, engineered silhouette. The lowercase is simple and readable with single-storey forms and a prominent, bulb-like dot on i/j; numerals are bold and open with clear interior space and the same inline detailing.
Best suited to display settings where the inline carving can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging or label designs. It can also work for short calls-to-action or section titles where a bold, retro-styled emphasis is desired.
The inline treatment and chunky proportions give the face a nostalgic, sign-painting and display-driven energy. It feels upbeat and attention-seeking, with a slightly theatrical, poster-era flavor that reads as fun rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through thick strokes while adding built-in ornamentation via a consistent inline cut. The goal appears to be a versatile display sans that nods to vintage signage and athletic or promotional graphics without relying on high contrast or serif details.
The inline line is thin relative to the stroke mass, so at smaller sizes it is likely to visually merge or disappear, while at larger sizes it becomes a defining graphic feature. The overall rhythm is smooth and rounded, and the weight distribution favors strong silhouettes for quick recognition.
