A slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Forms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with tight apertures and sturdy counters that keep the silhouette solid at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as broad, geometric ovals. The lowercase follows a single‑storey construction where applicable, with a tall, straight ascender rhythm and a simple, functional numeral set.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and branded messaging where impact and momentum matter. It works well on posters, packaging, wayfinding-style graphics, and sports or tech-adjacent identities, especially when set large or in tightly controlled layouts.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with an athletic, forward-leaning posture. Its thick, smooth shapes and consistent rhythm project clarity and confidence, leaning more toward contemporary branding than neutral text work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary italic voice with strong weight and simplified geometry, prioritizing punchy readability and a sense of speed over delicate detail. It aims for a versatile display workhorse that can carry logos, titles, and promotional copy with consistent presence.
Capitals have a strong, sign-like presence with stable horizontals and diagonals that emphasize motion. The numerals are robust and highly legible, with open shapes and uncomplicated joins that match the straightforward, industrial character of the letters.
