A sharply serifed, high-contrast italic with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly angular, engineered construction. Thick main strokes are paired with very fine hairlines, producing crisp sparkle at text sizes and strong poster presence at display sizes. Serifs are narrow and blade-like with minimal bracketing, and terminals often resolve into clean, straight cuts. Many forms show slightly squared curves and tight internal counters, giving the letters a compact, fast rhythm despite generous overall width in several capitals and figures.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and slant can do the heavy lifting—headlines, magazine and section openers, campaign posters, sports or motorsport-inspired branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short emphasis in editorial layouts, but its tight counters and intense contrast make it less ideal for long body text.
The overall tone is dramatic and assertive, with a sense of speed and performance. Its glossy, high-contrast italic flavor feels cinematic and headline-driven, projecting confidence and urgency rather than quiet neutrality.
The design reads as an italic display serif built to deliver impact: strong contrast, sharp serifs, and a forward-leaning posture that emphasizes motion and prestige. It appears intended to bridge classic high-contrast serif cues with a more modern, performance-oriented attitude for branding and titling.
Uppercase letters carry a strong, formal silhouette with tall proportions and pointed serif accents, while the lowercase stays sturdy and compact with a noticeable oblique flow. Numerals are bold and stylized, matching the same sharp contrast and forward-leaning stance, making them visually prominent in mixed settings.
