An oblique, high-contrast sans with broad, slightly compressed curves and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes transition from thick, sculpted stems to razor-thin joins, with tapered, flared terminals that create a carved, aerodynamic feel. Many joins and interior corners show sharp cut-ins and triangular notches, and several bowls use teardrop-like apertures, giving the shapes a punchy, stylized rhythm. Spacing reads generous and stable in the sample text, while the slanted construction and contrast keep the texture lively and dynamic.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where its slanted momentum and sculpted contrast can read large and crisp. It can also work for packaging and editorial display lines that benefit from a retro-leaning, high-impact voice; for long text or small sizes, the sharp cut-ins and thin joins may become visually busy.
The overall tone feels fast and theatrical—polished enough for modern branding, but with a distinct vintage flavor reminiscent of mid-century advertising and motorsport-inspired lettering. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping slant project confidence and motion, making even short phrases feel energetic and bold.
The design appears intended to deliver a sense of speed and premium drama through exaggerated contrast, oblique stance, and flared, cut-in terminals. Its wide proportions and distinctive apertures suggest a focus on memorable word shapes for branding and attention-grabbing titles rather than strict neutrality.
Round forms (such as O/C and the numerals) appear slightly flattened into wide ovals, reinforcing the horizontal emphasis. The ampersand and several lowercase forms lean into distinctive cut-in details, which add personality but also make the design feel intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
