A slanted, high-contrast display face with heavy, wedge-like main strokes and hairline cross-strokes that create a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. Shapes are broad and energetic, with sharp joins, angular cut-ins, and subtly flared terminals that read as sculpted rather than mechanical. Counters tend to be compact relative to the bold strokes, and the overall silhouette favors strong diagonals and forward motion, especially in letters like A, K, M, N, V, and W. Numerals follow the same pattern, combining thick bodies with fine, tapered details for a punchy, poster-like presence.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and campaign graphics where its contrast and slant can carry the composition. It also fits branding marks and wordmarks that want speed and intensity, and works well for sports or entertainment-oriented typography where impact matters more than quiet readability.
The tone is confident and theatrical, combining classic italic momentum with a punchy, high-impact contrast that feels headline-driven. It suggests a blend of vintage display typography and modern editorial urgency, reading as expressive, competitive, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dramatic contrast and forward-leaning momentum, producing a lively texture that stands out in display settings. Its forms aim to feel dynamic and stylish while remaining structured and consistent across the alphabet and figures.
At text sizes the fine hairlines and sharp internal cuts become the main character, giving the face a vivid sparkle but also making spacing and line breaks feel visually active. The slant is consistent across the set, and the strong diagonal stress helps maintain cohesion across both uppercase and lowercase.
