A slanted, display-oriented sans with sharp, sheared terminals and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a chiseled, fast-moving silhouette. Letterforms are compact and tightly built, with angled cuts on entries and exits and frequent wedge-like joins that emphasize direction. Rounds (C, O, Q, e) are sturdy and slightly oval, while diagonals and stems show crisp, straight geometry; counters tend to be relatively closed, especially in the lowercase. The numerals follow the same angular, cut-terminal logic, with a distinctive slanted ‘4’ and streamlined curves on ‘2’ and ‘3’.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, and logo lockups where a strong, dynamic impression is needed. It can also work effectively for sports and event branding, apparel graphics, and punchy packaging titles, especially when used in short phrases rather than dense body text.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, suggesting speed, impact, and a slightly retro athletic sensibility. Its oblique stance and sharp terminal cuts give it a confident, action-forward voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, fast, contemporary display look by combining an oblique stance with sharp, cut terminals and noticeable stroke modulation. The consistent angular detailing across letters and figures suggests a focus on branding and headline impact over neutral text setting.
The design reads best when set with enough size and spacing for the internal counters to stay open, as the heavy construction and tight apertures can build texture quickly in longer lines. The rhythm is strongly directional due to consistent slant and repeated angled terminals across the set.
