A slanted, display-oriented sans with rounded forms and gently tapered terminals, built around solid strokes that are split by a narrow internal cut. The inline detail reads as a crisp stripe that tracks the letter’s direction, giving stems and curves a layered, dimensional feel. Proportions are fairly open and contemporary, with smooth bowls, simple apertures, and a consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where the inline detail can read clearly—posters, branding systems, packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can work for subheads at moderate sizes, but the internal cut becomes more decorative and less legible as text gets smaller or more tightly set.
The carved-through stripe adds energy and motion, producing a lively, retro-leaning tone that feels graphic and upbeat. Its confident, stylized construction suggests a sporty and entertainment-forward voice rather than a sober editorial one.
Designed to deliver an energetic italic voice with a distinctive carved inline that differentiates it from standard slanted sans italics. The goal appears to be a recognizable display style that adds motion and graphic texture while keeping letterforms broadly familiar.
The inline treatment becomes a key identifier in diagonals and curved letters, where the inner channel accentuates sweep and direction. In dense text the effect can create visual shimmer, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence clarity.
