A heavy, slanted sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts and chamfered corners. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with squared terminals and tight internal counters that emphasize mass and impact. The uppercase has a compact, athletic stance, while the lowercase carries similarly blocky forms with occasional asymmetry and notch-like cut-ins that add speed and edge. Overall rhythm is punchy and forward-leaning, optimized for bold silhouettes rather than delicate detail.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as sports branding, team graphics, event posters, merchandise, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for compact logo wordmarks where a fast, angular voice is desired, but is less comfortable for long-form reading due to its density and strong slant.
The tone is forceful and energetic, reading as competitive and action-oriented. Its hard facets and pronounced slant suggest speed, toughness, and a utilitarian attitude with a distinctly retro sports flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a forward-leaning stance and a faceted, engineered geometry. By prioritizing bold silhouettes and sharp chamfers, it aims to communicate speed and strength in branding and display contexts.
Numerals and capitals maintain consistent chamfer logic, producing crisp silhouettes that hold together in large display settings. The design’s tight counters and dense color can feel crowded at smaller sizes, especially in multi-line text where the slant and notches create a strong texture.
