A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact, efficient counters. Curves are built from smooth, geometric arcs with rounded bowls, while straight strokes and terminals tend toward crisp, slightly angled cuts that reinforce the forward slant. Letterforms feel sturdy and stable, with consistent stroke weight, open apertures where applicable, and a rhythm that reads as wide and assertive rather than delicate.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where impact and speed are desirable, such as sports identities, energetic branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and social media titles. It can work for short bursts of text, but its density and slant are most effective when used for emphasis rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is energetic and unapologetically bold, with a modern, athletic feel. The strong slant adds motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance while maintaining clean, geometric clarity. The combination of rounded bowls and sharply cut terminals suggests a focus on contemporary display use where punch and readability at large sizes matter most.
Uppercase forms present as large, blocky silhouettes with clear interior shapes (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the numerals match the same robust, rounded language. The italic angle is strong enough to be a defining feature, so spacing and line breaks will visually emphasize forward momentum in headlines.
