A heavy, forward-slanted sans with squared, angular construction and subtly faceted curves. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with sharp interior corners and frequent notched cuts that act like ink traps, especially where joins tighten up. Terminals are mostly blunt and clipped, and counters tend toward squared ovals rather than true circles, giving the alphabet a rugged, engineered texture. The overall rhythm is energetic and compact, with lively diagonals and slightly irregular widths that keep the word shapes active and bold.
Best suited to bold headlines, sports or fitness branding, event posters, packaging, and merchandise where impact and motion are desired. It will perform especially well in short phrases and logo-style lockups where the angular details and notched joins can be appreciated.
The tone is fast and assertive, reading like performance branding or action-oriented display type. Its angled stance and chiseled detailing suggest momentum, grit, and a competitive edge, with a faint retro athletic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed, using a strong slant, compact silhouettes, and ink-trap-like notches to create a rugged, high-energy display voice.
The distinctive notches and cut-in joins create strong highlights at small gaps, which can add character at large sizes but may darken quickly in dense settings. Numerals share the same faceted, clipped styling, reinforcing a consistent, hard-edged voice across headings and short callouts.
