A condensed oblique display face with heavy, slab-like strokes and crisp, angular terminals. The letterforms are built from solid black shapes accented by a thin interior inline and a light outer keyline, creating a layered, dimensional look. Counters are compact and geometry leans rectangular, with squared curves and tight apertures that emphasize speed and compression. Spacing reads fairly tight and the overall rhythm is punchy and uniform, designed to hold together as a strong block in headlines.
Best suited to headlines, logo lockups, sports identities, event posters, and packaging where a strong condensed oblique voice is needed. It also fits jerseys, badges, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a dynamic, high-impact look, especially when set large so the inline detail stays clear.
The styling evokes classic athletic lettering, racing graphics, and vintage signwork—assertive, fast, and a bit mechanical. The inline detail adds a poster-like flair that feels showy and confident, leaning toward bold Americana and sports branding rather than quiet editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while adding visual interest through an inline carve and keyline. Its oblique stance and squared, slabby construction suggest a goal of speed, toughness, and legibility in display settings.
The inline and outline treatment remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font keep its character at a range of larger sizes. Because the interior line is fine relative to the stroke mass, it will read best when given enough scale and contrast against the background.
