A heavy oblique sans with broad, rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes stay robust and even, with softened corners and slightly squarish counters that keep forms compact and dense. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, giving the letters a forward-leaning rhythm; terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while bowls and shoulders remain smoothly rounded. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and geometric, and the lowercase maintains a large, prominent x-height with simple, uncluttered silhouettes that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short callouts, and large-format messaging where the strong slant and heavy strokes can deliver emphasis. It works well for sports branding, event promotion, and punchy packaging or advertising, especially when a compact, modern italic voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a strong sense of momentum from the oblique angle and weight. It reads as contemporary and action-oriented—more “go” than “calm”—making it feel at home in competitive, high-impact visual environments.
The design appears intended to combine high-impact weight with smooth, rounded geometry and a strong oblique angle, creating a modern display sans that feels fast, confident, and highly legible in bold statements.
The superelliptical rounding keeps the boldness from feeling harsh, while the compact counters add a dense, impactful color on the page. Figures are thick and simplified, matching the letterforms’ solid, forward-driving presence.
