A slanted, display-oriented face with compact proportions and sharp, angular construction. Strokes show pronounced modulation, with thick verticals and tapered or pinched joins that create a chiseled, faceted feel. Terminals are mostly cut on diagonals, producing crisp edges and a forward-leaning rhythm; counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dark and punchy. The design keeps a largely sans structure while using wedge-like cuts and occasional spur-like corners to sharpen silhouettes, especially in diagonals and bowls.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a sharp, kinetic texture is desirable. It can work well for sports branding, event promotions, packaging callouts, and short emphatic lines. For extended reading, it’s more effective in larger sizes where the angular modulation and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a fast, competitive cadence that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its faceted cuts add a retro-industrial edge, giving text a dramatic, poster-like presence rather than a quiet editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, impactful voice by combining a slanted stance with faceted, cut terminals and strong stroke modulation. Its condensed structure and crisp angles prioritize visual punch and stylistic character for display use.
Uppercase forms are tall and condensed, with simplified geometry and strong diagonals that emphasize motion. Lowercase includes several distinctive, angled joins and pointed terminals that can add character but also increase texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same cut-terminal logic, keeping the set visually consistent and suitable for bold, graphic applications.
