A compact, heavy display face built from rounded-rectangle forms and mostly uniform strokes. Each glyph is cut by a consistent inner inline channel that follows the contours, creating a carved, double-line effect within the black mass. Corners are softened, curves are squarish and controlled, and terminals tend to end flat, giving the alphabet a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Counters are small and tight, and the overall spacing and proportions read compact and punchy at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, logo marks, and short, high-impact phrases where the inline carving can read clearly. It works well on posters, packaging, labels, and sporty or retro-themed branding, and can add strong presence to UI titles or event signage when used at display sizes.
The inline cutouts and rounded mechanical geometry evoke mid‑century and late‑20th‑century display lettering—equal parts arcade, athletic, and utilitarian. It feels bold and energetic, with a slightly futuristic, stamped-sign quality that suggests motion and impact without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while adding dimensional interest through an internal inline channel. Its rounded-square construction and consistent internal detailing aim for a cohesive, industrial display look that remains legible and highly stylized in large-scale use.
The inline detail is a key part of the identity and will fill in at small sizes, so it’s best treated as a headline style. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-round construction, producing a cohesive, logo-ready texture; the narrow silhouette helps long words stay compact while still feeling loud.
