A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a compact, powerful silhouette. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut with subtly softened corners that keep the forms from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with rounded bowls and smooth, continuous curves in letters like C/O/S, while diagonals and joins (K/V/W/Y) read sturdy and dense. The lowercase is straightforward and geometric-leaning, with single‑storey a and g and simple, open apertures that prioritize impact over delicacy; numerals are similarly robust with rounded interior spaces.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and punchy signage where the heavy, slanted forms can do the work. It can also function for short subheads or emphasis in layouts that need a strong, energetic typographic voice.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, pairing a sporty, poster-ready punch with a slightly friendly softness from the rounded shaping. The slant adds motion and urgency, giving the face a forward-driving feel that suits bold, attention-seeking messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with an italicized sense of motion, using rounded, geometric construction to keep the weight approachable rather than aggressive. It aims for bold legibility at larger sizes while maintaining a cohesive, modern sans rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The combination of thick strokes, tight counters, and an oblique angle creates strong word-shape momentum, especially in all-caps. Spacing appears generous enough to keep large text from clogging, but the dense interior spaces suggest it will feel most comfortable at display sizes.
