Imaki Italic Font

Imaki Italic by Neale Davidson is a free modern display font with a forceful, forward-leaning silhouette. Broad strokes and tightly fitted letters give the design a dense, continuous sweep, with clipped joins adding an engineered edge. The rounded forms stay smooth and low, so the lettering feels fast without relying on rough texture or decoration.

Sportswear and performance brands can use its emphatic slant for athletic apparel, motorsport merchandise, and event posters, where speed is part of the message. Its compressed, logo-like movement also suits racing game graphics and action-focused entertainment branding, especially when the lettering can echo vehicles, stripes, or other directional imagery.

Imaki is inspired by the character logo of Takara’s Beast Wars Metals series. It includes a full alphabet, extended punctuation, accented characters, and the euro symbol. Available styles are bold, italic, bold italic, and condensed.
