A slanted, heavy display face with pronounced stroke modulation and broad proportions. Letterforms lean forward with compact internal spacing and a steady, marching rhythm in text. Terminals tend to resolve into sharp, wedge-like cuts and tapered joins, producing crisp edges and a slightly calligraphic, brushed effect despite the largely plain, serifless construction. Rounds are full and wide, counters stay relatively open, and diagonals (V, W, X, y) show strong directional emphasis that reinforces the italic movement.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and titling where a bold, kinetic voice is needed. It can work well for sports branding, event promotions, packaging, and magazine-style display typography, especially when set with generous line spacing to let the slant and sharp terminals breathe.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, combining athletic punch with a polished, editorial sheen. Its forward slant and sharp terminals give it a competitive, energetic character, while the controlled contrast keeps it feeling intentional rather than rough. The result reads as confident and slightly retro, like classic sports titling updated for modern layout.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact at display sizes through wide proportions, strong slant, and noticeable contrast, while keeping letterforms simple and clean enough for punchy multi-word lines. It prioritizes motion and presence over neutrality, aiming for a branded, attention-grabbing texture in use.
In the sample text, the dense color and strong slant create a cohesive texture that favors short phrases and impactful lines. Numerals appear sturdy and stylized, matching the italic momentum and maintaining consistent width and weight across the set.
