A condensed, heavily weighted display face with a strong rightward slant and compact proportions. Letterforms are built from thick, low-contrast strokes with squared terminals and subtly rounded corners, producing a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. A consistent inline cut runs through the strokes, creating a hollowed, stripe-like interior detail that reads cleanly at large sizes. Counters are tight and shapes are simplified for impact, with slightly mechanical curves in round letters and sturdy diagonals in forms like A, K, V, and W.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, team or event promotions, and bold apparel or sticker-style graphics. The inline construction rewards larger sizes where the interior carving remains clearly visible, while the condensed width helps fit punchy titles into tight spaces.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and attention-grabbing, with a classic athletic/arcade flavor. The italic stance and inline detailing suggest motion and intensity, giving headlines a competitive, high-energy feel.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while adding visual interest through an inline carve. The combination of dense strokes, slanted posture, and simplified geometry points to a display-first intent focused on speed, strength, and graphic presence.
Numerals and capitals appear especially bold and uniform, while lowercase maintains the same condensed rhythm and slant for cohesive word shapes. The inline cut adds texture without relying on contrast, making the face feel graphic and engineered rather than calligraphic.
