A condensed, geometric display face built from straight strokes and clipped, chamfered corners. The letterforms are mostly rectangular and octagonal in construction, with squared bowls and tight apertures that create a rigid, engineered rhythm. A thin internal inline runs through the strokes, producing a carved, double-wall look that reads clearly at large sizes and adds depth without relying on contrast. Curves are minimized and replaced with faceted turns, giving both capitals and lowercase a consistent, modular structure.
Best suited for headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and titling where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits sports-themed graphics, event materials, product badges, and bold signage-style applications that benefit from a compact, high-impact silhouette.
The overall tone feels retro-industrial and sporty, evoking jersey lettering, arcade or sci‑fi interfaces, and stamped metal signage. The inline detailing adds a technical, machined flavor that reads as purposeful and utilitarian rather than ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, condensed footprint with a distinctive inline that suggests dimensionality and precision. Its faceted construction and consistent geometric logic aim for immediate recognition in display settings.
The design favors compact counters and crisp terminals, which increases impact but can make small sizes feel busy. Numerals match the same faceted geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like aesthetic across alphanumerics.
