A heavy, obliqued sans with broad proportions and large counters. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, with smoothly rounded joins and terminals that keep the texture soft despite the weight. The forms lean consistently to the right, and the spacing reads open and generous, giving the line a steady, high-ink rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, geometric construction, while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height for strong presence at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a bold, fast-moving sans is needed. It also fits sports and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and short UI or editorial accents where emphasis is more important than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, with a modern, sporty emphasis that feels direct and attention-grabbing. Rounded geometry prevents it from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, approachable edge to an otherwise forceful voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italicized companion for contemporary branding and display typography, combining geometric roundness with strong weight and a pronounced forward slant to project motion and confidence.
The wide set and strong slant create a sense of forward motion, and the uniform stroke weight produces an even, billboard-like color across words. The design favors clarity and impact over delicate detail, staying visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
