A heavy, right-slanted sans with pronounced stroke modulation and a strong, forward-leaning rhythm. Letterforms are broad and low in silhouette, with tight apertures and frequent wedge-like terminals that sharpen the overall texture. Curves show a calligraphic stress, producing teardrop-style counters in several lowercase forms, while straight strokes stay crisp and slightly tapered. The figures follow the same logic: rounded numerals are weighty and compact, while diagonal forms (like 1 and 7) emphasize the italic motion with clean, angular cuts.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, and brand marks where the slant and stroke contrast can project motion and intensity. It can also work for packaging or promotional typography when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking to keep counters from closing in.
The tone is energetic and assertive, combining athletic momentum with a slightly vintage display attitude. Its high-contrast slant reads fast and loud, suggesting speed, impact, and headline emphasis rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic, high-impact sans voice that blends modern athletic urgency with a hint of retro, sign-like flair. Its combination of broad proportions, sharp terminals, and calligraphic stress prioritizes expressive display texture over long-form readability.
Uppercase forms feel more blocky and poster-like, while the lowercase introduces more fluidity and stress, creating a deliberate contrast between sturdy caps and more calligraphic miniscules. The overall color on the page is dark and attention-grabbing, with noticeable shape variety between characters that reinforces a display-first personality.
