A heavy, right-slanted display sans with strong contrast and exaggerated wedge-like cuts that create sharp, aerodynamic terminals. Letterforms are wide and blocky with large counters and a forward-leaning stance; many joins and stroke endings appear sliced on an angle, producing a dynamic, faceted silhouette. The rhythm is tight and emphatic, with pronounced diagonals in characters like A, K, N, V, W, and X, and simplified, sturdy curves in O, C, and S. Numerals are similarly robust, with flattened horizontals and angled finishes that keep the set visually consistent in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short punchy copy where impact and speed are desirable. It also fits sports or motorsport-style branding, product packaging, and logotypes that benefit from a muscular, forward-leaning voice. For longer text, it works most effectively in limited doses such as pull quotes, banners, or section headers.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-oriented, evoking competition, action, and high-impact messaging. Its aggressive slant and sharp cuts add a retro-leaning, industrial energy that feels bold and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of motion, using a pronounced slant, high contrast, and angled cut terminals to suggest speed and power. Its wide, simplified shapes prioritize instant recognition and a strong graphic footprint in display settings.
At larger sizes the angular cuts and contrast become a defining texture, while in dense settings the strong slant and tight internal shapes can create a busy, energetic color on the line. The design’s distinctive sliced terminals give it a stylized, logo-ready character that stands out from more conventional italic grotesks.
