A heavy, squared sans with rounded outer corners and a prominent inline cut that creates a double-stroke look. Stems and bowls are broad and mostly uniform in mass, while the carved inner channel stays consistently inset, giving the letters a crisp, engineered outline rhythm. Counters are compact and geometric, curves are flattened into rounded rectangles, and terminals end bluntly, producing a sturdy, sign-like silhouette. Spacing reads generous for a display face, with uppercase forms feeling especially wide and stable and lowercase built from similarly boxy constructions and a tall x-height.
Best suited to large-scale display applications where the inline channel can be appreciated: headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold logotypes. It also fits sports branding, product packaging, and signage where a sturdy, outlined presence helps text stand out against busy backgrounds.
The inline carving and blocky proportions evoke retro athletics, arcade marquees, and industrial labeling. It carries a confident, punchy tone that feels energetic and a bit nostalgic, with a technical edge from the precise inset linework.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive inline accent, combining a compact, industrial geometry with a decorative interior cut for instant recognizability in branding and display typography.
The inline detail is strong enough to read clearly at headline sizes and gives a layered effect even in single-color use. Letterforms lean toward squared geometry throughout, creating a consistent texture across all-caps and mixed-case settings.
