Uppercut Angle
Delve Fonts · Joachim Müller-Lancé
A brush-inflected display face by Joachim Müller-Lancé, drawn from martial arts and sports logo lettering traditions and originally created for a San Francisco Krav Maga training centre.
About
The letterforms are economical and angular, referencing comics and sports insignia rather than literal brushwork, with a decisiveness that keeps them legible at small sizes as well as large. Version 1.3 expanded the glyph set substantially, bringing language support to 329 languages including Vietnamese and Oceanian scripts. OpenType features include standard ligatures, slashed zero, ordinals, fractions and ornaments.
Classification
The design draws on comic book and sports logo lettering traditions rather than calligraphy or formal type, with muscular, angular brush-inflected shapes suited to display and identity use.
