A slanted sans with compact, rounded construction and a strong, even stroke. Curves are smooth and elliptical, while terminals are generally clean and blunt, producing a sturdy silhouette. The forms feel slightly condensed in places, with tight apertures and a forward-leaning rhythm that emphasizes motion. Numerals and uppercase shapes read as sturdy and streamlined, with consistent stroke behavior and minimal ornamental detail.
Best suited to display roles where impact and motion matter: headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and sports or performance-oriented branding. It can work for short UI labels or callouts when sized generously, but extended small text may require careful sizing and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward-driving stance that suggests speed and momentum. It feels contemporary and functional, leaning toward a sporty, action-oriented voice rather than a quiet or literary one. The heavy presence and tight shapes create a sense of urgency and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact voice with a sense of speed. Its compact, rounded shapes and strong, consistent strokes prioritize bold messaging and visual punch in branded and promotional settings.
At larger sizes the letterforms show confident, graphic presence, while the tight inner spaces and compact proportions can start to close up as size decreases. The italic angle is pronounced enough to be a key part of the personality, reinforcing a fast, directional texture in words and headlines.
