A heavy, slanted sans with extended proportions and broad, open counters. Curves are smooth and rounded, while terminals are clean and largely uniform, creating a low-contrast, solid silhouette. The spacing feels generous for such a heavy cut, helping letters like C, S, and G stay open, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) read sharply due to the consistent stroke mass. Numerals are equally robust and wide, with simple, sturdy forms suited to large-scale settings.
Best suited for headlines, branding, and display typography where impact and momentum matter. It works well for sports and automotive-style graphics, event posters, and bold UI or signage moments where quick recognition at a distance is important.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and forward-leaning, with a contemporary, performance-minded feel. The combination of strong weight and oblique stance gives it a dynamic, confident voice that suggests motion and immediacy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a streamlined, modern sans while retaining legibility through open shapes and consistent stroke weight. The extended width and oblique posture appear intended to communicate speed and confidence in short, high-visibility text.
The italic angle is pronounced but controlled, keeping round letters stable and preventing counters from collapsing. Uppercase forms present a strong, uniform rhythm, and lowercase shapes maintain clarity despite the weight, with single-storey a and g contributing to a modern, simplified texture.
