An italic display face with a bold, forward-leaning skeleton and an inline cut that runs through most strokes, creating a carved, striped look. Forms are largely sans with rounded curves and smooth joins, mixing open apertures with some tighter counters for a compact, energetic rhythm. The inline detail acts like a consistent highlight, adding texture and visual speed while keeping lettershapes legible at headline sizes. Numerals follow the same slanted, cut-in styling, with rounded bowls and a graphic, poster-ready presence.
Best suited to headlines, short display copy, and identity work where the inline texture can be appreciated. It can add instant attitude to posters, event graphics, product packaging, and punchy branding elements, especially when used in larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels fast and attention-grabbing, with a retro sense of motion reminiscent of classic signage and sporty graphics. The inline highlight reads like a sheen or streak, giving the face a lively, animated character suited to bold, expressive messaging.
The design appears intended to combine italic momentum with a carved inline accent that suggests speed, shine, and dimensionality. It prioritizes graphic impact and a distinctive surface texture while retaining familiar, readable letterforms for display settings.
The strong diagonal slant and internal striping create a pronounced directional flow across words; this effect becomes more dominant in longer lines of text. The design relies on its interior cut for character, so it will read most clearly when given enough size and contrast against the background.
