A slanted, high-contrast italic with compact proportions and a forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes alternate between thick verticals and hairline joins, with pointed, wedge-like terminals that create a sharp, chiseled silhouette. Curves are tightened and slightly squared-off in places, giving round letters a taut, sculpted feel, while counters stay relatively open for a dense, punchy texture. The lowercase shows a single-storey construction where applicable and a clean, non-looping approach overall, with numerals matching the same angled stress and tapered finishing strokes.
Best suited for display typography where slant and contrast can carry the message—headlines, posters, striking pull quotes, and brand marks that want speed and intensity. It can work for short editorial setting when sized generously and given comfortable spacing, but it is most convincing in impactful, larger-scale applications.
The font reads fast and emphatic, combining a sporty sense of motion with a dramatic, poster-like presence. Its sharp tapering and strong slant suggest urgency and impact, while the controlled contrast adds a refined, editorial edge.
The overall construction appears aimed at delivering a condensed, energetic italic voice with strong contrast and sharp terminals, prioritizing motion and presence over neutrality. It’s designed to stand out in attention-driven settings while keeping letterforms disciplined and systematic across the set.
The design maintains consistent diagonal emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive line when set in text. At smaller sizes the thin connections and hairlines may visually recede, while at display sizes the pointed terminals and contrast become defining features.
