This typeface is an oblique sans with a lively, calligraphic construction and clearly modulated strokes. Forms are slightly condensed with a forward slant, and many terminals resolve into sharp, wedge-like cuts that create crisp corners and a fast rhythm. Curves are tightened and often slightly squarish, while diagonals and joins feel athletic and deliberate, giving letters a springy, energetic texture. Figures follow the same logic with angled entries and compact counters, maintaining consistent color across lines of text.
It suits short-to-medium display settings where a sense of speed and attitude is useful—headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when you want emphasis and motion, especially in sports, streetwear, or retro-leaning visual systems.
The overall tone feels energetic and punchy, with a distinct retro-sport flavor. Its sharp terminals and brisk slant suggest motion and urgency, while the controlled contrast keeps it readable and disciplined rather than decorative.
The design appears aimed at blending sans simplicity with an italic, hand-influenced edge—prioritizing momentum, sharp finishing strokes, and a compact footprint. The consistent slant and wedge terminals suggest an intention to evoke action and heritage signage while remaining practical for bold display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward geometric, sign-like silhouettes with assertive corners, while lowercase introduces more cursive-like movement in letters such as a, g, and y. The rhythm in text is driven by repeated angled cuts and consistent slant, producing a distinctive, slightly “speed-script” texture without becoming fully script.
