A heavy, right-leaning italic with compact proportions and a distinctly sculpted, high-contrast construction. Strokes show sharp, wedge-like terminals and tapered joins, while curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms that keep counters small and dense. The rhythm is fast and forward, with narrow apertures, strong diagonals, and a consistent internal tension that makes the letters feel engineered rather than calligraphic.
Best suited for display settings where impact and motion are desirable: headlines, posters, sports and performance-oriented branding, packaging callouts, and short logo/wordmark work. It can also serve as a strong accent font in editorial or digital layouts when used at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The tone is energetic and forceful, projecting speed and confidence. Its compact, slanted silhouette reads as performance-driven and contemporary, with a slightly aggressive edge that suits attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to combine a modern sans foundation with an italicized, high-energy stance, using tapered terminals and tightened superelliptical curves to create a compact, powerful voice that holds up in bold display use.
Uppercase forms emphasize diagonals and tight bowls (notably in letters like B, P, R, and S), while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, single-storey feel in several shapes with pronounced tapering on ascenders/descenders. Numerals are similarly condensed in feel, with strong slant and clear, stylized curvature that remains consistent with the typeface’s chiseled terminal language.
