A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad, compact letterforms and softly rounded outer corners. The strokes are filled but feature a consistent inline cut running through the interior, creating a carved, dimensional look and keeping counters legible at large sizes. Serifs are blocky and squared with slightly eased joins, and several diagonals show subtle notches that read like functional ink-trap-inspired shaping. Curves (O, C, S) are sturdy and smooth, while the overall spacing feels tight and headline-oriented rather than text-driven.
Best used for headlines and short phrases where the inline carving can be appreciated—posters, apparel graphics, team or club identities, labels and packaging, and bold signage. It works especially well when you want a vintage or athletic flavor and strong silhouette presence.
The inline detailing and chunky slabs give it a nostalgic, sign-painting and sports-lettering energy—bold, friendly, and attention-seeking. It feels suited to vintage-inspired branding where you want impact without harshness, balancing toughness with a playful, approachable tone.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that combines classic slab-serif structure with an inline engraving effect for added texture and dimensionality. Its softened corners and sturdy proportions aim to stay friendly and readable while delivering a strong, retro-graphic voice.
The inline is thick enough to remain obvious in large settings, but it also introduces fine interior detail that may close up at very small sizes. Numerals match the same robust construction and read as poster-ready, with a consistent, graphic rhythm across the set.
