A heavy, expansive sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners and broad curves. The letterforms are built from thick strokes that are consistently interrupted by a clean inline channel, creating a layered, cut-through look that reads like a bold outline-within. Counters are generous and largely geometric (notably in O, Q, 8, 9), while joins and terminals stay crisp and sturdy for a poster-ready silhouette. Spacing feels open and the overall rhythm is wide and steady, with simplified details that keep forms legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where its inline detailing can be appreciated: headlines, posters, event graphics, and branding marks. It also works well for sports-themed identity systems, apparel graphics, and packaging where bold shapes and built-in striping add instant impact. For long passages, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the inline channel stays clearly resolved.
The inline carving gives a classic sign-painting and varsity-title energy, blending a retro display feel with a confident, modern punch. Its wide stance and graphic striping make it feel loud, upbeat, and attention-seeking—suited to designs that want a bold, theatrical presence rather than a quiet typographic voice.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact through broad, sturdy forms paired with a carved inline that adds dimensionality and a distinctive texture. The overall construction prioritizes clear silhouettes, strong patterning, and a retro-graphic tone that stands out in branding and headline settings.
The inline is consistently centered through most strokes, producing a strong “double-stroke” impression and clear internal structure even in dense shapes. Curved letters and numerals lean slightly toward geometric construction, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a robust, engineered feel. The texture becomes more stripe-forward in longer text blocks, where the internal channel reads as a repeating pattern.
