This typeface is a heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded geometry and compact internal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curve-to-stem joins and minimal contrast, giving letters a sturdy, blocky silhouette without feeling rigid. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, and the overall spacing reads tight and cohesive, optimized for bold, headline-scale settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and branding where a strong italic presence helps create motion. It can work well on packaging and signage when used at larger sizes, where the tight counters and heavy strokes remain clear and intentional.
The strong weight and energetic slant convey speed and confidence, with rounded forms adding approachability. It feels assertive and contemporary, with a slight sporty, retro-graphic flavor that suits bold messaging and attention-grabbing moments.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean sans structure, combining a strong italic slant with rounded, sturdy shapes for a modern, energetic display voice.
Round letters like O and Q appear broadly oval with generous weight, while diagonal-heavy forms (K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s forward motion. The numerals are bold and open, with smooth curves and simplified detailing that keeps them legible at display sizes.
