A condensed, oblique sans with a strong display skeleton and a distinctive inline construction: a cut-through stripe runs inside the strokes, creating a hollowed, double-contour effect. Terminals are mostly square-cut with slightly rounded corners, and curves are smoothly drawn with consistent stroke pressure. The proportions are tall and compact with tight counters, while the inline detail keeps the shapes legible even as the letterforms lean forward. Figures and lowercase follow the same slanted rhythm, with simplified, geometric forms and steady spacing that reads cleanly in short bursts.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks where a dynamic, high-impact look is needed. It also fits well for sports themes, retail signage, apparel graphics, and packaging accents, especially when set large or with generous tracking to preserve the inline detail.
The overall tone is fast, punchy, and retro-leaning, echoing sports lettering, signage, and headline typography. The inline adds a sense of motion and shine, giving the face a showy, attention-grabbing character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, energetic display voice by combining condensed oblique forms with an inline cut that suggests speed, gloss, and dimensional flair. Its consistent construction across caps, lowercase, and figures indicates a focus on cohesive headline typography and branding applications.
The internal stripe is consistently applied across straight and curved strokes, producing strong patterning in all-caps settings. The slant and condensed width emphasize forward momentum, making the font feel best when used at larger sizes where the inline detail can breathe.
