A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and a tight, compact interior space. Strokes are uniform and blocky, with rounded joins and smoothly curved bowls that keep the shapes soft despite the mass. The italic construction reads as a true oblique with consistent slant across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a forward-leaning rhythm. Letterforms show sturdy, simplified geometry—wide rounds (C/O/Q) and strong horizontals—while counters remain relatively small, emphasizing density and impact.
This font performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, and bold brand marks where strong emphasis is desirable. It also fits packaging and promotional materials that need a modern, energetic voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters won’t clog.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a fast, forward motion from the slant. It feels contemporary and performance-driven—more “go” than “refined”—with an upbeat, attention-grabbing presence suited to energetic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean sans foundation, combining broad forms and a consistent italic slant to create speed and emphasis. Its simplified, rounded geometry suggests a focus on sturdy legibility in display use while maintaining a contemporary, athletic feel.
Capitals appear tall and stable with broad, open silhouettes, while lowercase keeps a chunky, compact feel that maintains weight consistency in text. Numerals match the same heavy, slanted construction, reading clearly at display sizes with a strong, poster-like presence.
