A heavy, right-slanted display sans with rounded, superellipse-like bowls and tightly packed counters. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that create a cut, carved impression at joins and ends. The forms run wide with a forward lean and a low-to-moderate x-height, while apertures stay relatively narrow, giving the face a dense, compact rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same bold, sculpted logic, with strong curves and flattened interior spaces.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and title treatments where impact and momentum are desired. It can also work well for sports branding, event promotions, and packaging or labels that benefit from a strong, italicized display voice. For small text or UI, it’s most effective as a sparing accent due to its dense internal spaces and strong modulation.
The overall tone is fast, loud, and confident, combining a retro athletic flavor with a modern, engineered solidity. Its slant and sharp terminal cuts add motion and urgency, making it feel promotional and performance-oriented rather than neutral or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact italic display style that blends rounded, superelliptical construction with sharp terminal cuts for extra snap. It aims to project speed and strength while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In longer lines the dense counters and high stroke contrast increase visual texture, so spacing and line length benefit from generous leading and moderate tracking. The distinctive wedge cuts at terminals and joins become key identifying features at headline sizes, where the rounded geometry and chiseled details read most clearly.
