A chunky, all-caps-forward display face built from heavy geometric forms with rounded corners and simplified counters. The primary letterforms are drawn as clean outlines with open interiors, then paired with a consistent offset black shadow that reads like a hard extruded edge. Curves are smooth and broadly circular (notably in C, G, O, and 0), while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared, keeping the silhouette blocky and stable. Spacing and rhythm feel even in text, with the shadow providing depth and directional emphasis without overwhelming the outlines.
Best suited for large-scale display work where the outlined forms and shadow can register clearly—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event graphics, and short logo-style wordmarks. It can also add a retro dimensional accent to labels and signage, especially in high-contrast black-and-white treatments.
The combination of hollow outlines and a crisp offset shadow gives a punchy, dimensional tone that feels vintage and attention-grabbing. It reads as fun and assertive rather than formal, evoking signage, headline typography, and upbeat promotional graphics.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through an outlined, hollow build paired with a consistent drop-shadow that simulates depth. The intent appears to be a friendly, high-visibility display style that stands out in quick reads and graphic compositions.
The shadow appears consistently cast in the same direction across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive 3D illusion. The outlined construction keeps interiors bright and airy, helping large sizes feel less dense while still maintaining strong silhouette presence.
