A heavy, right-slanted display sans with chunky proportions and pronounced internal shaping. Strokes show strong thick–thin behavior with tapered joins and triangular cut-ins that create sharp, wedge-like apertures and counters. Curves are broadly rounded, while many terminals feel sheared or beveled, giving letters a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase keeps a large, prominent body with compact counters and simplified forms, and the numerals follow the same bold, sculpted silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and packaging where bold shapes and motion cues are desirable. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want a retro-leaning, high-energy voice, but its strong styling may be too assertive for long reading or small UI text.
The overall tone is energetic and extroverted, mixing a retro headline feel with a sense of speed and impact. Its dramatic contrast and carved details add a slightly mischievous, attention-grabbing character that reads as confident and fun rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a slanted, speed-driven stance and sculpted contrast, using wedge-like cut-ins to differentiate letterforms and add texture. It prioritizes display clarity and personality over neutrality, aiming for recognizable shapes in branding and editorial titling.
The distinctive wedge cutouts (notably in rounded letters like C, G, O/Q and some diagonals) create a signature texture that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. Spacing and letterfit look geared toward display settings, where the bold silhouettes and internal cut-ins can read clearly without crowding.
