A slanted, heavy sans with noticeable stroke modulation and compact, sculpted counters. Forms are built from broad, wedge-like strokes and rounded joins, giving many letters a slightly chiseled, cut-in silhouette rather than a purely geometric construction. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are robust and open, while diagonals and arms (K, R, X, Y) feel sharp and forward-leaning; terminals often end in angled cuts that reinforce motion. Lowercase proportions sit in a moderate x-height with distinctive, slightly top-heavy bowls (a, e) and tight apertures, and the numerals echo the same muscular, slanted construction with rounded corners and strong diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent short text where its slant and weight can carry energy and personality. It can work well for sporty branding, product packaging, and event graphics, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes to keep the tight apertures clear.
The overall tone is energetic and punchy, with a forward-driving rhythm that suggests speed and impact. Its chunky, stylized construction adds a retro display flavor—confident and attention-grabbing—while still reading as a clean sans at a glance.
This font appears designed as a high-impact display sans that blends athletic forward motion with a stylized, slightly retro construction. The slant, wedge terminals, and sculpted counters prioritize immediacy and character over quiet neutrality, aiming to stand out in branding and promotional settings.
The design relies on consistent angled shears across stems and terminals, creating a unified directionality in both uppercase and lowercase. Several shapes show deliberate notches and tapered transitions that create a faint ink-trap or carved effect, helping counters stay visible at heavier sizes.
