A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled counters. Forms lean on simplified, geometric construction—round letters are smooth and full, while diagonals and terminals are cut with crisp, angled edges. Stroke endings tend to be blunt or sharply sheared, creating a fast, forward rhythm and a dense, poster-like color on the page. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with sturdy bowls and minimal modulation, supporting strong legibility at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where bold presence matters more than delicate detail. It fits sports and performance branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and large-format signage where the strong slant and dense strokes deliver impact.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a distinctly forward-driving posture. It reads as contemporary and performance-oriented, balancing a clean, no-nonsense voice with enough angular energy to feel competitive and attention-grabbing.
This design appears intended to provide an emphatic, speed-forward italic voice that stays clean and contemporary. The geometric, cut-terminal construction suggests a focus on high visibility and a confident, athletic sensibility in display typography.
The slant is pronounced and consistent, and the wide set plus heavy weight makes spacing feel deliberately tight and cohesive. Numerals match the same sturdy, cut-terminal logic, helping headlines and scoreboard-style strings feel unified.
