A slanted, heavy sans with rounded geometry and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from broad circular forms (notably in O, Q, and 8), while joins and terminals are clean and largely squared-off, giving the design a crisp, engineered feel. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, supporting clarity despite the strong weight. The italic construction reads as a true oblique with consistent angle and steady rhythm, and the numerals match the letterforms with wide, stable shapes and sturdy diagonals.
Well-suited for headlines, short display copy, and brand marks where a strong, fast, modern impression is desired. It should work especially well in sports, tech, and retail contexts, as well as on packaging and signage where bold, slanted forms help text stand out quickly.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, combining bold presence with approachable roundness. It feels assertive without looking harsh, leaning toward a sporty, forward-moving voice suitable for attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, modern messaging with a sense of motion, pairing a sturdy build with rounded forms for accessibility. Its consistent slant and geometric construction suggest a focus on legibility at display sizes and a confident, contemporary personality.
Uppercase forms are compact and solid, while lowercase shows a straightforward, modern structure with single-storey-style simplicity where applicable and a clear, prominent dot on i/j. The slant and strong diagonals (K, V, W, X) add motion, while the round bowls keep the texture friendly and cohesive.
