A steeply slanted display face with tightly packed proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The heavy stems are sliced with narrow, tapered counters and teardrop-like terminals, creating a sculpted, cut-in look rather than smooth internal curves. Joins and diagonals are crisp and angular, and several forms show small notch-like incisions that emphasize speed and direction. Numerals and capitals carry a consistent forward lean and a compact, poster-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its carved contrasts and compact shapes can be appreciated: headlines, posters, sports or performance branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short emphatic UI labels or editorial pulls when used sparingly and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, evoking motion, competition, and headline urgency. Its sharp contrasts and streamlined cuts suggest a retro-futurist or motorsport sensibility, with a dramatic, high-impact presence that reads as confident and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through a forward-leaning stance, sculpted thick–thin strokes, and distinctive cut-in counters. The intent is a fast, aggressive display voice that remains cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies on distinctive internal cutouts and narrow apertures, which create strong texture in words but can make small sizes feel busy. Uppercase forms are especially commanding, while the italic angle and tapered details amplify a sense of speed and emphasis.
