A heavy, slanted sans with angular, faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped planes and sharp corners. Strokes are chunky and compact, with tight internal spaces and squared-off terminals, creating a dense silhouette. The letterforms lean forward with a consistent rightward slant, while subtle irregular cut-ins and distressed voids add a worn texture across many glyphs. Overall rhythm is punchy and compact, favoring strong verticals and blunt diagonals over smooth continuity.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as sports identities, team apparel, event posters, gaming titles, and album or track artwork. It also works well for packaging callouts and promotional graphics where texture and intensity are desired, especially at larger sizes.
The font reads loud and urgent, with a sporty, combative energy and a rugged, street-level grit. Its faceted shapes and distressed detailing evoke impact graphics—more about attitude and motion than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with forward motion and a machined, faceted feel, enhanced by distressed details for a roughened, battle-worn tone. It prioritizes bold presence and texture for display typography over quiet readability.
The distressing appears as small chips and streak-like breaks inside the black shapes, which can create lively texture at display sizes but may reduce clarity in smaller settings due to tight counters and heavy mass. Numerals match the same clipped, forward-leaning style for cohesive headline use.
