A heavy, compact sans with a continuous inline cut that runs through the main strokes, creating a carved, dimensional look. Letterforms are largely geometric with rounded bowls and softened corners, while many terminals flare or bevel into wedge-like finishes that add a slightly chiseled rhythm. Curves are smooth and broad, counters stay open, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) read sturdy and stable. The inline is consistently placed and cleanly separated from the outer contour, giving each glyph a crisp interior highlight that stays legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display work where the inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, branding marks, packaging fronts, event graphics, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short subheads or callouts when set large enough to keep the interior line from filling in.
The inline highlight and beveled terminals evoke classic sign painting, vintage athletic lettering, and marquee-style display type. It feels upbeat and bold in tone, with a friendly, slightly nostalgic character rather than a strict modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing sans with a built-in highlight effect, mimicking engraved or outlined-in-fill lettering for immediate visual punch in branding and display contexts.
Spacing appears comfortable for headlines, and the forms keep a cohesive silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The numerals share the same carved-inline treatment, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel unified.
