A heavy, oblique sans with tightened apertures and a forward-leaning, high-impact silhouette. Strokes show clear modulation, with broad main stems and tapered joins that create wedge-like terminals and sharp interior angles. Counters are compact and sometimes teardrop-shaped, while diagonals and curved forms are slightly squared-off, giving the alphabet a chiseled, cut-in feel. The texture is dense and rhythmic, with small notches and tight curves that add bite without becoming ornamental.
Best suited to short, high-contrast copy such as headlines, posters, labels, and promotional graphics where a dense, energetic voice is desirable. It can work in brief subheads or pull quotes, but longer passages will generally benefit from larger sizes and generous tracking to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, suggesting motion and emphasis. Its slanted stance and sharp terminals read as sporty and promotional, with a slightly retro display flavor that feels at home in bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, fast-moving display voice: a slanted sans with controlled contrast and chiseled terminals that amplify urgency and visual punch while keeping letterforms broadly familiar and legible at headline sizes.
Uppercase forms are built from sturdy, simplified shapes that prioritize impact over openness, and the numerals follow the same slanted, compact logic for a consistent set. In text, the strong diagonals and tight counters produce a dark color, so spacing and size become important to keep words from visually clumping.
