A heavy, right-leaning italic sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are built from broad, simple shapes with slightly tapered joins and a compact, forward-driving rhythm. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S) read as soft and continuous rather than angular. Lowercase forms are straightforward and single-storey where expected, with a short, functional shoulder and a plain, geometric feel; numerals are sturdy and slanted to match the text angle.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact matters—headlines, poster typography, packaging callouts, and energetic brand identities. It also fits sports and lifestyle messaging, event graphics, and punchy UI labels where a strong italic emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and modern, with a sporty slant that suggests motion and urgency. Its weight and forward lean give it a confident, promotional voice, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
Designed to deliver a bold, motion-forward voice in a clean sans framework, combining a strong italic angle with rounded, low-contrast construction for clarity at display sizes.
The italic is structural rather than calligraphic: terminals are clean and uncluttered, and the slant is consistent across letters and figures. Spacing in the sample text appears tuned for headline use, keeping a dense, impactful texture without collapsing counters.
