A heavy, block-built display face with squared, octagonal corners and slab-like terminals. The letterforms are constructed from straight strokes with minimal curvature, and a consistent inline cut runs through the stems and bowls, creating a crisp striped interior rhythm. Counters are compact and angular, apertures are small, and joins feel engineered rather than calligraphic. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with the inline detail adding clarity and structure at larger sizes.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and bold identity marks where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for signage and sports or team branding that benefits from a sturdy, emblem-like voice. For longer copy, larger sizes and comfortable spacing help preserve the inline’s legibility and prevent counters from filling in visually.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking signage, machinery, and scoreboard-era display typography. Its carved inline gives it a crafted, emblematic feel—equal parts retro and industrial—well suited to statements that need to look tough, disciplined, and graphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, engineered display voice, combining monolithic forms with a decorative inline to add dimensionality and internal rhythm. Its faceted corners and slabbed construction suggest a goal of referencing vintage signage and athletic lettering while maintaining a crisp, contemporary graphic edge.
The inline is generally centered and consistent, producing strong vertical striping in many glyphs and a distinctive sparkle in text. The angular treatment of curves (notably in rounded letters and numerals) reinforces a faceted, stamped-metal impression, while the compact counters suggest best performance when set with generous tracking or at headline sizes.
