A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are low-contrast and largely monolinear, with subtly softened terminals and crisp joins that keep the shapes clean at display sizes. Round letters (O, C, G) read as geometric ovals, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and open, reinforcing a wide stance. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) with compact counters and a straightforward, contemporary construction; figures are similarly robust and open, designed to hold up under strong emphasis.
Best suited for headlines, identity work, and short emphatic copy where a strong, slanted voice is desirable. It should perform well in sports and lifestyle branding, poster typography, packaging callouts, and other situations that benefit from a bold, energetic sans.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with the forward slant adding motion and a sense of momentum. Its broad, rounded geometry keeps the impact approachable rather than harsh, giving it a sporty, headline-driven personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary, geometric feel while remaining readable in tight, high-energy settings. The combination of broad proportions, rounded forms, and a strong slant suggests a focus on modern display use and brand-forward messaging.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent the bold weight from clogging, and the consistent curve logic across letters helps the set feel cohesive in continuous text. The italic angle is pronounced but controlled, preserving legibility while emphasizing speed and punch.
