A heavy, right-slanted display face with broad proportions and a strong, graphic rhythm. Strokes show clear thickness modulation, with wedge-like thinning at joins and terminals that read as cut or sheared rather than softly tapered. Shapes are largely sans in construction but with sculpted, chiseled details: compact counters, energetic curves, and angled horizontals that reinforce the forward motion. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and stance, staying bold and stable while echoing the same angular finishing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for subheads or short blurbs when spacing is opened up, but its dense color and compact counters make it less ideal for extended reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is fast, emphatic, and promotional, suggesting movement and impact. Its slant and sculpted contrast give it a slightly nostalgic, sports-and-advertising flavor while still feeling contemporary and punchy.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, forward-leaning display voice—combining broad, confident forms with carved, contrasting details to maximize impact in large-scale typography.
The texture becomes very dense in paragraph-like settings, with tight interior spaces and strong black presence, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing. The consistent forward lean and angled cuts create a cohesive, poster-like voice across caps, lowercase, and figures.
