An angular, outline-drawn display face built from straight segments and sharp corners, with consistent stroke weight and a parallel inner contour that creates a hollow/inline effect. Forms lean on octagonal and chamfered geometry, producing pointed terminals and crisp joins with minimal curvature. Proportions are compact and condensed, with mostly uniform cap height and a mid-range x-height; widths vary by letter, and spacing reads fairly open due to the outline construction. Numerals and uppercase follow the same faceted logic, giving the set a cohesive, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks where the outlined geometry can read cleanly. It can also work well on packaging or merchandise graphics that benefit from a bold, retro display voice.
The overall tone feels retro and emphatic, evoking athletic lettering, arcade graphics, and metal/gothic cues without becoming overly ornate. The outlined construction adds a light-on-its-feet brightness while still reading as assertive and high-impact.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong display presence through a geometric outline system, prioritizing stylized silhouette and consistent angular construction over text-setting neutrality. Its inline/hollow treatment suggests an intention to provide built-in dimensionality and sign-painter energy without relying on fills or shading.
The design’s clarity depends on scale: the double-line outline and tight counters can visually fill in at small sizes, while at larger sizes the inline geometry becomes a prominent stylistic feature. The faceted O/Q and angular S/Z emphasize the font’s polygonal theme and help maintain consistency across the character set.
