A very heavy, right-slanted sans with compact interior counters and sharp, chiseled shaping. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation that reads more like engineered cut-ins than calligraphy, with frequent angled notches and wedge-like terminals that create a carved, mechanical rhythm. Curves are squarish and tightened, giving rounds like O, C, and S a flattened, muscular profile. Overall spacing feels on the tight side and the silhouettes lean forward with consistent, assertive momentum.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a forward-leaning, aggressive stance is desired; for paragraphs, it will read strongest at larger sizes due to its dense counters and heavy texture.
The tone is energetic and competitive, with a bold, performance-oriented attitude. Its slant and sculpted cuts evoke vintage display lettering used for speed, action, and impact, while the blocky construction keeps it grounded and confident rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force with a fast, forward-leaning stance, using carved notches and wedge terminals to add character and separation without resorting to serifs. The tightened counters and blocky curves suggest an emphasis on display readability and a distinctive, athletic signature.
Numerals follow the same slanted, carved construction and remain highly emphatic, especially in shapes like 2, 5, and 9 where angled cut-ins and tight counters add grit. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact feel with short extenders and dense forms, keeping text color dark and continuous in longer lines.
