A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded construction. Strokes are thick and uniform with minimal modulation, and curves are generously radiused, giving letters a sturdy, graphic presence. Terminals are mostly straight-cut on diagonals, and the overall rhythm is compact and forward-leaning, with counters kept open enough to stay readable at display sizes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same robust, simplified geometry for a cohesive, emphatic texture in text.
Best suited to short-form, high-visibility settings such as headlines, campaign graphics, posters, and brand marks where a bold, energetic voice is needed. It can also work for packaging or signage when set with comfortable tracking and generous leading to prevent lines from feeling crowded.
The tone is assertive and fast-moving, with a sporty, promotional feel. Its strong slant and substantial weight read as active and confident, lending a contemporary, headline-driven voice rather than a quiet, editorial one.
The design appears intended as a strong, contemporary italic sans for attention-grabbing typography, prioritizing impact, speed, and clarity through simplified geometric forms and a consistently heavy stroke.
The italic angle is pronounced, which heightens motion but also increases texture density in paragraphs. The design favors simple, geometric joins and broad shapes, producing a uniform, high-impact color on the page.
