This typeface is a compact oblique sans with heavy, even stroke weight and smoothly rounded curves. Letterforms show a consistent forward slant and tight horizontal proportions, with generous counters in round letters like O and e to preserve clarity. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharply cut, giving the design a quick, directional rhythm. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, a straightforward t with a short crossbar, and a rounded, open e; numerals are sturdy and simplified with clear silhouettes.
It suits attention-driven display work such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where a strong, forward-leaning voice helps. The sturdy shapes also make it a good fit for sports branding, packaging callouts, and compact UI labels where a dynamic but clean sans is needed.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary feel. Its oblique stance and compact build suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
The font appears designed to deliver bold, high-impact messaging in a streamlined oblique sans, balancing speed and modernity with rounded, accessible forms for legibility.
The design reads best when allowed some horizontal breathing room, as the condensed shapes and slant can visually tighten spacing in longer lines. The punctuation and figures match the main letters in weight and angle, maintaining a uniform, cohesive texture in text settings.
