A heavy, slab-serif display face with squared contours, tight apertures, and mostly orthogonal construction. Strokes are low-contrast and structured around flat terminals and sturdy horizontal feet, while an internal inline (a narrow light channel) runs through the main strokes to create a carved, dimensional look. Curves are rendered as rounded-rect forms rather than true circles, giving the alphabet a mechanical rhythm, and counters tend to be compact with occasional stencil-like breaks in the inner detailing. Overall spacing and letterfit feel built for headline sizes, where the inline and layered stroke edges remain crisp and legible.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, badges, and logotypes where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging and labels that benefit from a bold, engraved aesthetic, and in sports or event branding where a sturdy, emblematic voice is desired.
The inline carving and blocky slabs evoke vintage signage, varsity marks, and industrial labeling, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its geometry and tight counters also lend a subtly futuristic, machine-made character, reading as both retro and technical depending on color and context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through broad, slab-like forms while adding visual interest via an internal inline that suggests engraving or inset striping. The consistent angular geometry and compact counters point to a deliberate, emblem-ready style aimed at bold titles and marks rather than extended body text.
The uppercase set appears especially dominant and architectural, while the lowercase retains the same squared, engineered logic, producing a consistent texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same modular, hard-edged treatment, making the overall set feel cohesive for branding systems that need letters and figures to match.
