A heavily slanted display sans with compact, angular letterforms and sharp wedge-like terminals. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick vertical masses and thinner connecting strokes that create a carved, faceted look. Counters are tight and often notched, producing an almost stencil-like, cutout rhythm in letters such as A, B, O, and P. The overall construction feels slightly irregular in a deliberate way, emphasizing speed and impact over smooth geometry.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a forceful, high-energy voice is needed. It can work well for sports-related graphics, event promos, packaging, and logo-like wordmarks, especially when set with generous tracking or used in short phrases where its notched details can be appreciated.
The tone is loud and kinetic, with a tough, competitive energy. Its sharp cuts and forward slant evoke motion and intensity, giving it a retro-action feel reminiscent of sports branding and high-impact headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and a sense of motion through strong slant, wedge-cut terminals, and condensed interior spaces. Its contrasted, faceted construction suggests a deliberate emphasis on rugged display texture rather than neutral text legibility.
At larger sizes the internal notches and angled cut-ins read as a distinctive signature; at smaller sizes those tight apertures may darken and merge, increasing the texture. Numerals match the same forward-leaning, cut-terminal logic, keeping the set visually consistent for scoreboards or short numeric bursts.
