This typeface is a heavy, right-slanted sans with compact internal counters and broad, weighty strokes that stay largely monoline but show subtle modulation in curves and joins. The forms are wide and low in stance, with rounded bowls (notably in O, C, G, 8, 9) and squared-off terminals that read as cut or sheared, reinforcing the forward motion. Curves are smooth and inflated, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are strongly braced and energetic. Numerals are substantial and stylized, with prominent curves and tight apertures that match the dense, poster-like rhythm of the letters.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where impact is the priority—posters, sports and event branding, energetic packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work for logo concepts or wordmarks that benefit from a strong sense of speed and mass, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking to avoid an overly dark text color.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, action-oriented feel typical of display faces used to signal momentum and impact. Its slant and bulk give it a confident, attention-grabbing personality that leans slightly retro in its exaggerated, headline-driven proportions.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that conveys motion and strength through a pronounced slant, wide proportions, and dense counters. Its consistent, inflated geometry suggests a focus on bold, readable silhouettes for branding and promotional typography rather than extended body text.
In the sample text, the dark color and tight counters create a strong texture at large sizes, while smaller sizes may feel dense due to the compact apertures and heavy joins. The italic construction appears built into the design rather than being a simple mechanical slant, with shapes and terminals drawn to maintain balance at an angle.
