A very heavy, right-slanted sans with broadly geometric construction and rounded bowls. Strokes stay largely uniform, with smooth curves and crisp, slightly angled terminals that reinforce forward motion. Counters are moderately tight and the overall silhouette feels compact and dense, giving strong color in lines of text while keeping letterforms clear. The numerals are sturdy and simple, matching the same robust, no-nonsense rhythm as the alphabet.
Best suited to large sizes where its mass and slant can do the work: headlines, display typography, posters, and attention-grabbing branding. It also fits energetic contexts like sports and lifestyle graphics, as well as bold packaging callouts and short UI labels where emphasis is needed.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a fast, athletic lean that suggests momentum and confidence. Rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel contemporary and upbeat.
The design appears intended as an impactful display sans that delivers speed and strength through a pronounced slant, while maintaining broad legibility via simple, rounded geometry and consistent stroke weight.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create a strong headline texture and a steady left-to-right flow. The design emphasizes solid, filled-in forms and consistent spacing, favoring bold presence over delicate detail.
