A slanted display face with forceful, wedge-like strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are wide and forward-leaning, with sharp, sheared terminals and tapering joins that create a fast, aerodynamic rhythm across words. Curves (C, O, S) show a strong contrast between swollen main strokes and hairline transitions, while diagonals and cross-strokes often finish in knife-edge points. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and spacing feels tight but energetic, emphasizing continuous motion in text lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, splashy editorial treatments, and brand marks where a fast, powerful voice is desired. It can work well for sports, automotive, entertainment, and packaging applications, especially when set large with comfortable tracking to let the sharp terminals breathe.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, reading as sporty and attention-grabbing with a slightly retro, headline-driven swagger. The steep slant and razor terminals give it a dramatic, high-impact presence suited to statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic display face that amplifies motion and contrast through tapered strokes and aggressive terminals. Its wide stance and stylized construction prioritize personality and punch over neutral, long-form economy.
Numerals echo the same italicized, tapered construction, with several figures using long, sweeping entry/exit strokes that add a sense of speed. The design leans on stylized asymmetry and sharp detailing, so texture becomes more expressive as sizes increase.
