A heavy, right-slanted display face built from broad, flattened forms and pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and hairline cuts. Letter shapes are very wide with a tight, forward-driving rhythm, and many terminals end in crisp wedge-like points rather than rounded finishes. Several joins and diagonals show knife-thin incisions and notched transitions, creating a carved, high-tension look. Counters tend to be compact and horizontally stretched, and the overall texture reads as dense, graphic, and strongly directional.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks. It performs well where a strong sense of motion is desirable—sports, entertainment, promotions, and event graphics—especially at larger sizes where the sharp cuts can be appreciated.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a racing, competitive feel that suggests speed and impact. The sharp cuts and exaggerated slant add drama and a slightly retro, poster-like swagger. It conveys confidence and urgency rather than neutrality or quiet refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through wide proportions, a pronounced slant, and dramatic contrast, using sharp wedge terminals and incised details to heighten speed and intensity.
The design mixes smooth, italicized curves with occasional hairline slices that act like visual accents, especially on diagonals and crossings. Numerals follow the same wide, slanted construction and keep the bold, poster-ready presence across the set.
