A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact, blocky proportions and sharp, angled terminals. The letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with frequent cut-ins and interior notches that create a stencil-like segmentation—most noticeably in round characters (O/Q/0/8/9) and in counters of letters like a, e, and g. Curves are squarish and tightened, with a generally geometric construction softened by sheared italic stress. Uppercase forms feel wide-shouldered and compressed, while lowercase shows simplified shapes and reduced detailing for a strong, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for large sizes where the internal cuts and oblique stance become a graphic feature—headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the segmented forms are less comfortable for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, reading as sporty and industrial with a hint of retro signage. The slant and carved-in breaks add motion and urgency, giving headlines a punchy, competitive feel.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that merges italic motion with stencil-like interruptions to create a distinctive, aggressive texture. Its simplified construction prioritizes immediate recognition and graphic punch over quiet neutrality.
The distinctive internal cuts can create a striped rhythm across words, which adds personality but also increases visual noise in longer passages. Numerals follow the same carved, segmented logic, helping them match all-caps display settings and branding systems.
