A heavy, right-leaning display face with compact, vertically emphasized proportions and slab-like terminals. Letterforms are built from broad, mostly monoline strokes that read as solid silhouettes, then opened up by a consistent inline cut running through the interior, creating a carved, dimensional effect. Curves are slightly squared-off and counters are tight, giving the alphabet a dense, poster-ready rhythm. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with simplified shapes and short extenders; numerals are similarly blocky and built for impact.
Best suited to short, bold settings such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits sports branding, event marks, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a condensed, high-energy presence.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a retro athletic and signage feel. The inline detail adds a sense of motion and sheen, pushing the style toward high-impact headlines that want to feel loud, confident, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as an impact-first display font that combines solid, condensed forms with an inline carve to add style and separation inside the heavy strokes. It targets attention-focused typography where speed, strength, and a vintage-adjacent athletic flavor are desirable.
The pronounced slant and the internal inline create strong directional flow across words, while the tight spacing and compact counters make the face feel weighty even at moderate sizes. The design’s interior cut gives clarity and texture without relying on contrast, helping large set text avoid looking like a flat black mass.
