A compact, condensed display face with a strong rightward slant and a carved, blocky construction. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with angular joints, clipped corners, and wedge-like terminals that create a faceted silhouette. Counters are tight and openings are small, giving the letters a dense, high-impact rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall, upright stance with simplified shapes and short extenders, maintaining a uniform, poster-like texture across words and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, event promotions, sports or racing-themed branding, and bold packaging callouts. It works well when set large, where the faceted terminals and condensed rhythm can read clearly and deliver maximum impact.
The overall tone is fast, aggressive, and attention-seeking, with a punchy, forward-leaning motion. Its sharp angles and compressed proportions evoke sports branding, action signage, and energetic promotional graphics, with a slightly vintage, comic-poster edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, fast visual voice using compressed widths, a pronounced slant, and angular, chiseled details. The consistent monoline weight and tight internal space suggest a focus on display impact rather than extended text comfort.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, reinforcing the compact, stacked look in text. The numerals follow the same chiseled, angled logic, reading as sturdy and mechanical. The most distinctive cue is the repeated use of beveled cuts and slabby feet that give the forms a stamped, cut-out feel.
