This typeface is a sharply slanted, display-oriented design with aggressive, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves are sheared into faceted shapes, producing teardrop-like counters and triangular cut-ins that create a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. The forms feel intentionally irregular in width from glyph to glyph, with tight internal spaces, crisp joins, and occasional notch-like details that read like built-in ink traps. Overall silhouettes are bold and compact, emphasizing chunky masses and hard directional edges rather than smooth, calligraphic flow.
It works best in large settings where the sculpted terminals and high-contrast shapes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event graphics, sports branding, and bold packaging or labels. In longer passages, its tight apertures and dramatic forms are more suitable for short bursts such as pull quotes, banners, or logo-type rather than continuous reading.
The tone is energetic and attention-grabbing, with a sporty, retro poster feel. Its sharp cuts and dramatic slant suggest speed and impact, leaning toward expressive, headline-driven typography rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a forward slant, sharp wedge endings, and carved-in details that create motion and texture. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and display presence, aiming for a stylized, vintage-leaning voice that stands out in branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular, sculpted vocabulary, and the numerals echo the same wedge-terminal treatment for a cohesive display set. The strongest visual signature is the combination of sheared ovals, triangular terminals, and abrupt stroke transitions, which creates a vivid texture at text sizes.
