A heavy, slanted display face built from angular, chamfered letterforms with a carved inline that reads as a narrow highlight running through the strokes. Counters are compact and polygonal, and many joins resolve into crisp corners rather than smooth curves, giving the shapes a faceted, cut-metal feel. Stroke endings are blunt and sturdy, with occasional stepped notches and inset outlines that create a layered, dimensional impression. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by glyph, reinforcing a punchy, headline-oriented rhythm rather than a strictly uniform texture.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as sports branding, team graphics, event posters, merchandise lettering, and bold packaging titles. It can also serve for short, punchy editorial headings where a high-impact, retro-industrial voice is desired, while extended body text will feel visually dense due to the inset detailing.
The font conveys a loud, competitive tone with a vintage athletic and signage sensibility. Its sharp edges and inset detailing feel assertive and mechanical, suggesting speed and impact while retaining a retro, poster-like swagger.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stylized, dimensional treatment—combining faceted geometry and a consistent carved inline to mimic painted signwork or engraved, athletic-style lettering. The overall construction prioritizes presence and character in titles over neutral readability in long passages.
The inline cut and outer edge detailing remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “engraved” look. The slant is strong enough to read as dynamic in text lines, and the dense interiors make small sizes look busy compared to larger settings where the carved detail becomes a key feature.
