An oblique, extended sans with rounded corners and a pronounced, streamlined rhythm. Letterforms are constructed as clean outlines with a secondary inner contour that reads like an inline cut, producing a hollow, dimensional effect. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and many strokes terminate with crisp, slightly tapered ends; the overall spacing feels airy due to the contour-only drawing. Numerals and capitals share the same forward-leaning, speed-oriented geometry, with simplified joins and consistent contour behavior across the set.
Best suited to large-format display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and energetic promotional graphics. It also fits sports or automotive-adjacent themes, packaging titles, and UI title treatments where a fast, dimensional outline look is desired. For body text, the outline structure is likely more effective in short phrases than long passages.
The style evokes motion and display-driven energy, blending a retro sign-paint and arcade sensibility with a sleek, sporty tone. The outlined construction and inner contour add a flashy, attention-grabbing character that feels lively and promotional rather than quiet or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, contemporary display voice by combining an italicized, wide skeleton with an outline-plus-inline treatment that suggests depth and highlight. The consistent slant and simplified shapes point to clarity at headline sizes and a distinctive, logo-friendly silhouette.
The double-line construction can create vibration at smaller sizes, while the wide stance and oblique angle increase the sense of momentum. Round letters (O, C, G) read especially smooth and technical, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the dynamic slant.
