A heavy, right-slanted sans with crisp, sheared terminals and a forward-leaning posture. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a sans: thick main stems paired with thinner connectors and sharp cut-ins, creating a chiseled, engineered feel. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and apertures tend toward angular rather than rounded solutions. The lowercase is compact and dense with a robust, tall x-height impression, and the numerals echo the same slanted, cut-terminal logic for consistent rhythm in headings.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, sports and performance-oriented branding, and punchy packaging callouts. It also works well for wordmarks and short, emphatic messaging where its slant and sharp terminals can carry the visual identity.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a deliberate sense of motion and impact. Its sharp angles and aggressive slant suggest performance, competition, and contemporary branding, reading as confident and high-energy rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed and modernity, combining a bold sans foundation with angled cuts and controlled contrast to create a distinctive, branded display voice.
At larger sizes the contrast and cut terminals create distinctive texture, but the dense, slanted forms can visually tighten spacing in continuous text. The design’s angular details and strong diagonal stress make it especially eye-catching in short phrases and typographic lockups.
