A heavy, rounded sans with solid, compact forms and a carved inline that runs through the strokes, creating a layered, dimensional look. Curves are smooth and broadly drawn (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of b/p), while terminals are mostly squared-off for a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many capitals, with wide, stable horizontals and generous interior counters that keep the shapes readable despite the added internal striping. Figures are similarly robust and geometric, with the inline detail consistently following the main stroke path to suggest depth and structure rather than delicate ornament.
Well-suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, brand marks, and packaging where the inset line can read clearly and add character. It can also work for signage and short emphatic phrases, especially when a retro or sporty flavor is desired.
The overall tone reads as vintage and energetic, evoking classic storefront lettering, athletic graphics, and mid-century display typography. The internal linework adds a sense of motion and showmanship, giving headlines a confident, attention-grabbing presence without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that turns simple geometric letterforms into a more decorative statement through an integrated inline cut. The consistent inset treatment and rounded, sturdy construction suggest a focus on attention, legibility at large sizes, and a nostalgic graphic voice.
The inline detail is close enough to the outer edge to read like a built-in highlight or inset, which can create a subtle 3D/shadow impression in larger sizes. Its strong black mass and busy interior detail suggest it will perform best when given breathing room and adequate size, especially in dense settings.
