A condensed, forward-slanted display face with heavy, blocky letterforms and strongly angular geometry. Strokes are built from straight segments with chamfered corners and faceted curves, producing a crisp, machined silhouette. A consistent inner inline cut runs through most strokes, creating a carved, dimensional look that reads like a built-in highlight. Counters are tight and the overall rhythm is compact, with sturdy verticals, simplified joins, and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn edge energy in the texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the inline carving can read clearly—posters, sports branding, packaging callouts, and energetic event promotions. It also works well for logotypes and badges where a compact, slanted wordmark is desirable, especially when used at larger sizes or with generous tracking.
The font projects speed and impact, pairing a tough, engineered tone with a vintage sign-paint and sports-lettering feel. The inline detailing adds a bold, poster-ready drama that suggests motion, competition, and high contrast lighting—confident, loud, and attention-seeking without feeling delicate.
Likely designed as an impact-forward display italic that combines condensed, athletic proportions with an inline highlight to simulate depth and sheen. The faceted construction and consistent carving suggest an intention to deliver instant presence and motion in branding and promotional typography.
Diagonal terminals and clipped corners reinforce the sense of forward movement, while the inline remains the dominant detail that ties glyphs together across cases and numerals. The condensed proportions and dense interiors can make small sizes feel busy, so spacing and size choices matter for clarity.
