A very heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded outer contours and sharply cut interior shapes. Strokes show clear modulation: broad stems and curves are paired with crisp, angled cut-ins that create wedge-like counters and occasional ink-trap–style notches. The forms feel compact inside despite generous overall width, with tight apertures, stout bowls, and lively diagonals that keep the rhythm fast. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky, sculpted construction, producing strong, graphic silhouettes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports branding, poster headlines, event promotions, and bold packaging. It holds attention at large sizes where the sculpted counters and cut-ins can read clearly, and it can add momentum to punchy taglines and logos.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, leaning toward athletic and promotional energy. Its chunky mass and slanted stance read as confident and forward-moving, while the carved counter shapes add a playful, slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines a slanted, action-oriented posture with carved, high-contrast detailing to stand out in branding and headline typography.
Diagonal cuts appear consistently in several letters and in the sample text, creating a distinctive “sliced” texture at joins and terminals. Round letters like O/Q remain strongly geometric, while letters with diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize motion through steep angles and dense joins.
