This typeface is a tightly condensed, forward-slanted print style with a bold, compact silhouette. Letterforms are built from angular strokes and chamfered corners, producing wedge-like terminals and occasional notched joins. Curves are minimized in favor of faceted bowls and counters, creating a brisk, mechanical rhythm while still reading as drawn rather than engineered. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall texture is dark and continuous, with consistent stroke thickness and a lively, slightly irregular hand-made edge.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event graphics, sports or action-themed branding, and bold packaging titles. It performs well at large sizes where the sharp facets and compact rhythm can read clearly, and where a dynamic, kinetic tone is desired.
The overall tone is fast, punchy, and a bit gritty, with a retro display energy that suggests motion and impact. Its slanted, blade-like forms feel sporty and attention-seeking, lending a street-poster immediacy rather than a polite editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a hand-drawn print feel with angular, speed-inspired forms. Its consistent slant and clipped terminals emphasize motion and urgency, aiming for strong presence in display typography.
Distinctive features include squared-off, slanted counters in letters like O and D, clipped terminals across many strokes, and assertive diagonals that dominate characters such as N, V, W, and X. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, leaning stance, supporting a cohesive headline look.
