A heavy oblique sans with a broad stance and simplified, geometric construction. Strokes are thick and consistent, with rounded joins and smooth curves that give bowls and rounds a sturdy, airless feel; counters tend to be compact and apertures relatively tight. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) read crisp and strongly slanted, reinforcing forward motion. The overall rhythm is dense and impact-driven, with sturdy uppercase forms and lowercase shapes that stay simple and highly graphic in texture.
Best suited for large-scale typographic use where impact and motion are desirable: headlines, poster typography, sports or automotive-themed branding, packaging callouts, and bold marketing lines. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when you want a strong, forward-leaning emphasis, but extended text may require generous sizing and spacing due to the dense color.
The tone is assertive and high-energy, projecting speed and momentum through its strong slant and mass. It feels contemporary and performance-oriented, with a confident, no-nonsense presence suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fast, and forceful voice—combining geometric simplicity with a pronounced oblique stance to maximize impact and immediacy in display contexts.
At display sizes the letterforms read as punchy and cohesive, while the combination of heavy strokes and tight inner spaces can make long lines feel visually dense. The italic angle and wide footprint create a pronounced sense of motion that becomes a defining stylistic cue in headlines.
