A heavy, right-slanted sans with chunky strokes and subtly irregular, hand-cut edges. Forms are compact and muscular, with rounded corners and small ink-trap-like notches that create a chiseled, scooped texture in counters and joins. The rhythm is lively and slightly uneven, with bouncy curves and tapered terminals that keep the dense weight from feeling static. Numerals and capitals share the same angular-yet-soft construction, maintaining strong consistency across the set.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and branding where impact and motion are desirable—such as posters, sports or streetwear graphics, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It will perform strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the cut-in details and sculpted counters remain distinct.
The font reads loud and upbeat, with a sporty, poster-like swagger. Its slanted stance and rugged cut-ins give it a kinetic, action-forward tone that feels playful rather than formal. Overall it conveys a retro display energy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that blends athletic italics with a slightly hand-crafted, carved texture. Its construction prioritizes energy and character over neutrality, aiming to create strong, compact silhouettes that stand out in promotional and headline settings.
Counters are relatively tight and often shaped by squared-off interior cuts, which boosts texture at large sizes but can reduce clarity when set small. The slant is pronounced enough to suggest motion, while the rounded outer corners keep the overall feel friendly. Spacing in the sample text appears designed for compact, blocky word shapes rather than airy reading.
