A heavy, forward-slanted display face built from compact, squared forms with prominent slab-like terminals. Many glyphs feature distinctive internal breaks and cut-ins that read like stencil slots, creating sharp negative shapes and a rhythmic pattern of notches across the alphabet. Curves are squared off and softened into rounded rectangles, while joins stay blunt and engineered, giving the letters a machined, modular feel. Counters are generally small and simplified, and the figures follow the same blocky, segmented construction for strong consistency in text settings.
Best used in headlines, posters, and titling where its bold silhouette and cut-out detailing can stay crisp and recognizable. It’s also a strong fit for sports branding, event graphics, and logo wordmarks that want a fast, mechanical attitude and an unconventional slabbed look.
The overall tone feels sporty and energetic, with a retro, industrial edge. The repeated cut-outs add a playful weirdness while still projecting strength and speed, making it feel suited to punchy, high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab weight and signage sturdiness with stylized, stencil-like interruptions and a forward-leaning stance. Its goal is clear visual impact and a distinctive texture that reads as both tough and playful in display contexts.
The slant is visually reinforced by horizontally biased cuts and sheared shoulders, which helps the face read fast and dynamic even at larger sizes. The distinctive internal breaks become a key texture element in longer lines, where the notches create a patterned cadence across words.
