A slanted, heavy sans with clean, largely geometric construction and rounded curves. Strokes stay fairly even, with minimal contrast, and terminals are mostly straight or gently tapered, keeping edges crisp at display sizes. Counters are open and generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and compact, with sturdy verticals and smooth bowls. Numerals match the letterforms with simple, solid shapes and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and high-impact branding where a strong slant and heavy weight help convey motion and emphasis. It can work for short bursts of text such as packaging callouts, signage, and sports or tech-themed collateral, where clarity and punch are prioritized over long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is energetic and purposeful, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as active and modern. Its weight and tight, clean forms project confidence and urgency, giving it a sporty, headline-driven character rather than a quiet editorial feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, modern oblique sans that communicates speed and impact while staying clean and highly legible. Its restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on versatile, contemporary display typography for energetic messaging.
The oblique angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a strong directional flow in text. Rounded forms (C, G, O, Q and the bowls in b/d/p) feel smooth and controlled, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are bold and decisive, contributing to a punchy texture in all-caps settings.
