A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are smooth and uniform, with rounded curves and blunt, sheared terminals that emphasize forward motion. The uppercase is wide and steady, while the lowercase is similarly robust with a single-storey “a” and “g,” and generally closed apertures that keep the texture dense. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with simplified shapes and strong silhouettes that hold up well in large sizes.
Best suited for large-scale typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text such as banners or promotional copy, especially when a strong, fast, athletic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, reading as sporty and confident. The pronounced slant and dense black forms create a sense of speed and impact, with a slightly retro display flavor that feels at home in attention-grabbing contexts.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a dynamic forward slant and broad, simplified letterforms. The consistent stroke weight and compact internal spaces prioritize bold silhouettes and immediate recognition over delicate detail.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing a dark, continuous rhythm in text. Several letters show angled cuts and notches (notably in diagonals and joins), reinforcing a mechanical, engineered feel rather than a calligraphic one.
