A dense, slanted display sans with chunky, rounded shapes and tightly enclosed counters. The letterforms lean forward and feel mechanically constructed, with consistent stencil breaks running through many glyphs as clean vertical and angled bridges. Strokes stay broadly uniform and blunt-ended, creating a strong, poster-like silhouette; spacing and widths vary per character, giving lines a lively, uneven rhythm while remaining visually cohesive.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the stencil cuts can be clearly seen—headlines, posters, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. The heavy, slanted forms also work well for sports and performance-themed branding, product packaging, and bold labels where a rugged, engineered feel is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, mixing an industrial stencil attitude with a fast, sporty forward-lean. The repeated breaks read as engineered and practical, adding a rugged, tactical flavor that still feels playful in big, graphic settings.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning, industrial stencil construction. Its goal is to combine high-impact readability at display sizes with a distinctive cut-and-bridge motif that signals utility, toughness, and motion.
Several glyphs use centered vertical breaks (notably rounded forms and numerals), while diagonals and crossbars often incorporate angled cutouts that enhance motion. The design emphasizes solid mass over fine detail, making the stencil logic and slant the primary stylistic signals.
