A heavy, right-slanted sans with a compact footprint and a distinctly sheared construction. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with crisp, angled terminals that create a cut-and-thrust rhythm rather than rounded softness. Curves are tightened and somewhat squarish in places (notably in bowls and counters), while diagonals and joins feel sharp and directional. The uppercase reads broad and muscular; the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-story feel with sturdy counters, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and logo/wordmark work where a sense of speed is desirable. It can work for subheads and short bursts of text, but its dense weight and strong slant make it less ideal for extended reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is fast, bold, and attention-grabbing, evoking motion and forward momentum. Its aggressive slant and sharp cuts suggest sporty graphics, action-oriented messaging, and a retro display sensibility associated with headlines and decals. The personality is confident and loud rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a kinetic, forward-leaning stance. By combining heavy strokes with sharp, angled terminals and compact proportions, it aims to project speed, toughness, and immediacy in display typography.
Letterforms lean consistently, producing a strong baseline drive in text. Spacing appears fairly tight at display sizes, and the cut terminals can create pronounced texture in longer lines, making it most comfortable when given room (larger sizes or extra tracking) to avoid a dark, compressed color.
