A slanted, display-leaning sans with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered joins that mimic a brush or pen. Letterforms are compact with rounded bowls and soft corners, while terminals often pinch to fine points, creating crisp entry/exit strokes. The rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with a mix of broad, weighty stems and hairline diagonals that add snap to counters and apertures. Numerals follow the same lively construction, combining sturdy curves with sharp, angled finishing strokes.
Best suited to short-form settings where its sharp modulation and slanted stance can lead: headlines, cover lines, logotypes, and bold brand statements. It can work well in posters and packaging where a dynamic, high-impact voice is needed, but is less appropriate for dense body copy or very small UI text due to the fine tapered strokes.
The tone is punchy and expressive, balancing editorial polish with a fast, sporty attitude. Its sharp tapers and sweeping diagonals suggest motion and confidence, giving headlines a dramatic, attention-grabbing cadence. Overall it feels contemporary with a nod to retro signage and display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, kinetic display voice—combining sans-like simplicity with brush-influenced contrast to create strong emphasis and a sense of motion. It prioritizes personality and visual impact over quiet neutrality, aiming to stand out in editorial and branding contexts.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, X, and Y) reduce to very fine hairlines, which heightens the sense of speed but can make small-size rendering feel delicate. Round letters like O/Q show strong contrast between thick outer arcs and thin internal transitions, producing a glossy, poster-like presence.
