A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a clean silhouette with minimal modulation; terminals are blunt and neatly finished. Counters are open and circular/oval, and the overall proportions feel slightly compact with a strong, steady rhythm. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, giving the set cohesive forward motion while maintaining crisp, legible shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the weight and slant can provide impact—headlines, campaign graphics, packaging callouts, and brand marks. It also works well for sporty or energetic interfaces and signage where quick recognition matters, though the strong slant and dense color may be less comfortable for long-form reading.
The font communicates speed and energy, with a contemporary, no-nonsense tone. Its slant and dense weight feel assertive and performance-oriented, leaning toward sporty or tech-forward branding rather than quiet, editorial refinement.
Designed to deliver bold emphasis with a streamlined, geometric voice, using an italic posture to add momentum and modernity. The consistent stroke weight and rounded construction suggest an aim for clarity and strong visual presence in contemporary display contexts.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and simplified, while lowercase keeps single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) that reinforce the geometric feel. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, matching the letterforms closely for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
