A heavy, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded curves and firm, straight terminals. The letterforms feel broadly geometric—counters are open and circular/oval, with sturdy bowls and consistent stroke thickness that keeps the texture even in dense settings. Proportions are slightly compact with a strong forward slant, and the numerals follow the same robust, simplified construction for clear, high-impact readability.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and advertising where a strong, forward-leaning voice is needed. It also works well for sports and tech-oriented graphics, short UI callouts, and packaging titles where impact and quick scanning matter more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is assertive and in-motion, projecting speed and decisiveness. Its bold presence and slanted posture give it a sporty, contemporary character that reads as energetic rather than formal.
Likely designed to provide an emphatic sans italic for display use—pairing geometric simplicity with a pronounced slant to communicate motion, urgency, and modernity while staying clean and broadly legible.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with rounded joins and clean outlines that stay legible at display sizes. The italic angle is pronounced enough to create emphasis while keeping shapes stable and familiar.
