A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded, superelliptical bowls and squared-off curves that create a compact, engineered feel. Strokes are largely uniform with smooth joins, while counters stay open and legible despite the weight. Many terminals resolve into clean, flat cuts, and diagonals are prominent, giving the outlines a crisp, streamlined rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with broad shapes and simplified, high-clarity forms.
Well suited to headlines, logotypes, and brand systems that need a fast, athletic voice. It can also work for posters, product packaging, and promotional graphics where bold, oblique letterforms help establish motion and urgency.
The overall tone is energetic and performance-oriented, with a sense of speed created by the slant and the taut, clipped detailing. It feels contemporary and purposeful rather than playful, projecting confidence and impact in short bursts of text.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact italic sans for display use, combining rounded rectangular geometry with clean, cut terminals to emphasize speed and modernity while maintaining straightforward readability.
The forms balance soft rounding with decisive angular moments, producing a distinctive mix of friendliness and precision. In longer samples the consistent slant and strong word shapes create a steady, driven texture that reads best at medium to large sizes.
