A slanted, high-contrast display face with broad proportions and a strong forward lean. Strokes alternate between very heavy masses and razor-thin connectors, producing a dramatic rhythm and clear emphasis on diagonals. Terminals are sharp and wedge-like, with occasional thin, blade-like entry/exit strokes that add a cut, speed-oriented feel. Curves are taut and slightly squashed into wide ovals, and spacing is kept relatively tight to maintain dense, poster-ready word shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, title treatments, sports-themed branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for pull quotes or mastheads where its wide stance and dramatic contrast can be given room to breathe.
The overall tone feels energetic and competitive, with a vintage headline sensibility. Its sharp contrast and aggressive slant convey speed and urgency, reading as confident and attention-seeking rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to maximize visual momentum and contrast for display typography, combining broad silhouettes with sharp, italicized forms to create immediate emphasis. It prioritizes distinctive word shapes and dramatic texture over small-size neutrality.
The thin hairline joins and angled joins can visually disappear at small sizes, while the heavy strokes dominate, so its character is most consistent when set large. Numerals and capitals share the same strong diagonal stress and wide set, supporting bold, impactful compositions.
