Despite bearing the very same moniker as an upwards punch to the chin, the name actually fell together quite naturally as Uppercut is an all uppercase typeface, and the word 'cut' is likewise traditionally utilized to explain a type style in hot metal type. For this slanted appearance, 'Angle' felt simply ideal (with thanks to Mia McHatton).
The style idea derived from pencil sketches for the center's brand-new identity. Uppercut's shapes are not calligraphic or handwritten, more like lettering seen in comics or sports logo designs. Its brush movements are fictional, not too literally brushy. Throughout development, information were simplified and reduced until a little bit of a cut-paper feel emerged, however more fluid like composing. The shapes are affordable and effective; simpleness makes the font versatile, holding up in small as well as huge sizes.
Uppercut is decidedly analog, muscular however not large, with the fluid but determined movements of a boxer or martial artist - not theatrical but effective, quick, positive and vibrant. Well ... it has punch. In the percentages, there is focus on a strong upper edge 'keeping its guard up', while several stems protrude downward, giving the impression of leaping or being 'light on the feet'.
Use Uppercut to pick up the rate, add snap, verve and drive - on motion picture posters for action and experience, to market your dojo, rumble or prizefight, racing group or tuning shop, or invite buddies to your barbecue with old time rock 'n' roll and homemade hot pepper sauce.
