A heavy, rounded sans with wide proportions and soft-rectangular curves throughout. Strokes are largely uniform and punctuated by a consistent carved interior line that tracks the letterforms, creating a layered, dimensional look. Counters are compact and smoothly rounded, terminals are blunt, and diagonals (like in V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable. The inline detail is clean and repeatable across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a strong graphic rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and branding where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also fits energetic contexts like sports identities, arcade or sci‑fi themed graphics, and bold packaging titles. For long text or small UI sizes, the interior line detail may lose clarity, so it’s most effective in short, prominent settings.
The carved inline gives the face a confident, high-energy personality that reads as retro-futurist and sporty at the same time. Its bold presence and graphic striping suggest motion, machinery, and signage, while the rounded geometry keeps the tone approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive inline signature, combining wide, rounded letterforms with a consistent interior carve to create depth and visual motion. It prioritizes graphic presence and brandability over understated neutrality.
Spacing appears intentionally open to prevent the interior line from clogging, helping the forms stay legible despite the dense stroke weight. The inline detail becomes the main identifying feature, so the font reads best when set large enough for the inner carving to remain distinct.
