A slanted, blocky display face built from squared curves and chamfered corners, with an outlined construction and a consistent inline channel running through the strokes. The letterforms feel compact and engineered, using straight segments and crisp angles to shape bowls and joints rather than smooth, fully round curves. Strokes maintain a steady thickness with short, sturdy terminals, and the inline detailing creates a layered, dimensional look that stays coherent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals are similarly angular and wide-shouldered, matching the alphabet’s mechanical rhythm and emphasis on hard edges.
Well suited to athletic identities, jersey and merchandise graphics, punchy headlines, and poster typography where a fast, competitive voice is desired. It also works effectively for logos and short display lines that benefit from the built-in inline detailing and structured, geometric presence.
The overall tone is sporty and high-impact, evoking scoreboard lettering, team branding, and speed-oriented styling. The slant and internal striping add motion and intensity, giving the face a confident, competitive feel with a retro-industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a dynamic, performance-driven display style with a built-in decorative stripe that adds depth without relying on shading. Its consistent, angular construction suggests a focus on strong silhouette and brandable impact in large-format applications.
The inline and outline details create strong contrast against flat backgrounds, but the internal channels and tight corners make the design read best at larger sizes where the interior separation remains clear. The angular shaping is consistent across glyph sets, producing a uniform, logo-like texture in longer lines of text.
