A heavy oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, low-modulation curves. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed, giving letters a dense, compact color. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, with rounded joins and consistent stroke thickness that keeps the rhythm even across the alphabet. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the same broad, forward-leaning stance and compact spacing feel.
Best suited for large-scale display work where strong, slanted emphasis is desirable—headlines, posters, promotional graphics, sports and activewear branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when you want an urgent, high-impact voice, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long passages of small text.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a forward slant that reads as motion and urgency. Its dense silhouettes and rounded geometry feel contemporary and sporty, projecting confidence and impact rather than delicacy or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic sans for attention-grabbing messaging, combining geometric roundness with compact, heavy forms to maintain clarity while maximizing visual punch.
Round letters like O/C/G show smooth, almost circular bowls, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) emphasize the italic momentum. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a simplified, modern texture and helping the font stay bold and uncomplicated at display sizes.
