A slanted, sans construction with rounded bowls and sharply tapered terminals that create a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show noticeable modulation and pointed ends, with occasional wedge-like cuts that add snap to curves and joins. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase with a relatively low x-height, while capitals stay open and legible through simple, geometric counters. Numerals and letters share the same energetic inclination and crisp finishing, producing an overall aerodynamic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its slanted, tapered detailing can carry personality—headlines, posters, brand marks, and energetic campaigns. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from a sense of speed and modernity. For extended reading, it will be more effective when used with generous leading and moderate line lengths.
The face reads as energetic and motion-driven, with a sporty, streamlined attitude. Its sharp terminals and consistent slant evoke speed and performance, while the rounded interiors keep the tone approachable rather than aggressive. The overall effect balances modern signage clarity with a subtle retro, display-leaning flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a sense of motion and immediacy while retaining the clean, simplified skeleton of a sans. By combining rounded forms with sharp, tapered terminals, it aims to feel contemporary and performance-oriented without becoming overly decorative.
Diagonal strokes and pointed terminals become defining features at larger sizes, where the wedge cuts and tapering feel intentional and graphic. In longer text, the strong slant and compact lowercase can increase visual momentum, making spacing and line length more sensitive than in a more neutral sans.
