A chunky, rounded sans with broad proportions and a uniform stroke weight, built from soft corners and largely geometric curves. The letterforms are constructed as heavy outlines with a consistent inline stripe running through the strokes, creating a layered, banded look rather than solid fills. Counters are generous and open, terminals are clean and blunt, and diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are wide and steady. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded construction with clear, simplified shapes and a consistent inner striping detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where the inline striping can be appreciated. It can also work for signage and merch graphics that benefit from a bold, outlined display style.
The inline banding and oversized proportions give the face a retro, attention-grabbing voice with a playful, signage-like energy. It reads as upbeat and confident, evoking classic storefront lettering and mid-century display styles while staying friendly due to its rounded geometry.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive inline treatment, combining simple geometric construction with decorative interior banding for a classic display feel. The consistent, low-contrast strokes and rounded forms suggest an emphasis on durability and legibility in bold, attention-first settings.
The inline detail is visually dominant and rewards larger sizes, where the internal striping reads clearly and evenly. At smaller sizes, the multiple outline/inline layers may visually merge, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity.
