A heavy, slanted sans with soft, rounded geometry and sharp diagonal cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap wedges. Counters are often partially occluded by these triangular openings, creating a distinctive rhythm across rounds (C, G, O, Q) and bowls in both cases. Strokes are chunky with subtle shaping and tapering at joins, while terminals tend to be clean and angled rather than blunt. The overall texture is dense and energetic, with consistent forward lean and punchy silhouettes that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, logos, and branding where the cutout details can read clearly. It can work well for sports-themed graphics, event promotion, and packaging that benefits from a dynamic, high-impact word shape. For long text, the dense weight and internal cut-ins are likely to be most effective at larger sizes.
The cutout rhythm and forward slant give the face a fast, engineered attitude that feels sporty and tech-leaning. At the same time, the rounded forms and exaggerated negative-space bites add a playful, slightly retro flavor reminiscent of arcade or late-20th-century display lettering. The result is bold and attention-grabbing without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable signature: bold slanted forms paired with repeated diagonal cutouts that unify the alphabet. This creates a sense of motion and modernity while maintaining friendly rounded construction for strong display presence.
The distinctive triangular apertures become a key identifying feature, especially in the lowercase where they carve into bowls and strokes and create strong internal highlights. Numerals follow the same language, with simplified, compact forms and the same cut-in motif on rounded characters.
