A heavy, right-leaning display sans with angular construction and pronounced stroke modulation. Forms are built from broad, chiseled strokes with sharp terminals and frequent internal cut-ins that create wedge-like counters and notched joins. Curves are squared off into faceted arcs, and many letters show a forward-driving silhouette with compact apertures and tight internal space. The overall rhythm is punchy and segmented, giving the alphabet a machined, stamped look while maintaining consistent slant and weight across cases and figures.
Best suited to impactful headlines, poster typography, and branding that benefits from speed and intensity. It works well for sports identities, event promotions, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where the faceted, cut-in details can read clearly at medium to large sizes.
The tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, with a retro sign-paint and sports-marking attitude. Its sharp facets and notched details add a slightly militaristic/industrial edge, making text feel assertive and kinetic rather than neutral or friendly.
Likely designed as an assertive display face that projects motion and toughness through a consistent italic angle, faceted geometry, and dramatic internal cut-outs. The goal appears to be maximum visual bite and recognizability for branding and headline settings.
The distinctive notches and wedge counters are a defining motif, especially noticeable in rounded letters and figures where the faceting becomes most apparent. In longer text, the dense interior spaces and strong slant emphasize momentum and impact over quiet readability, favoring larger sizes and short runs.
