A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded outer curves and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are low-contrast and end in clean, mostly straight terminals, giving the letters a sturdy, blocky presence without feeling rigid. The uppercase has a compact, forward-leaning silhouette, while the lowercase stays simple and geometric, with single-storey forms and small apertures that keep color dense at text sizes. Numerals match the weight and slant, with smooth curves and firm horizontal cuts that preserve clarity.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where a strong, slanted voice is desired—posters, sports-oriented branding, promotional graphics, packaging, and bold UI callouts. The dense texture and simplified shapes prioritize impact and quick recognition over delicate typographic nuance.
The overall tone is bold and driven, with a forward motion from the slant and a confident, high-impact texture. Rounded geometry softens the voice, keeping it approachable rather than severe, and reads as contemporary and energetic.
The design appears aimed at delivering a forceful, modern italic sans for display use, combining geometric roundness with a compact, high-ink footprint. It emphasizes momentum and visibility, creating a consistent, attention-grabbing typographic color across letters and numerals.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, producing a cohesive rhythm in longer lines. Round letters (like O/C) feel near-circular, and the set favors compact spacing and strong silhouettes, which helps it hold up in display contexts.
