A slanted sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and broadly rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and elliptical, while terminals are predominantly blunt, giving the forms a compact, muscular feel. The italic construction reads as a true oblique with consistent angle across the set, and spacing appears even and pragmatic, prioritizing clear word shapes. Numerals share the same robust weight and rounded geometry, with simple, highly legible silhouettes.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and brand statements where a strong, modern italic voice is needed. The dark color and clear shapes also work for short UI labels, packaging callouts, and sports or automotive-themed graphics where a sense of movement is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with an energetic, forward-leaning rhythm. Its heavy, smooth shapes feel functional rather than decorative, suggesting speed, momentum, and confidence without becoming aggressive. The italic slant adds urgency and motion that suits headline-driven communication.
Likely designed to provide a bold, slanted sans option that stays clean and highly legible while projecting motion and impact. The geometry and low-contrast construction suggest an emphasis on consistency, reproduction reliability, and a contemporary, no-nonsense aesthetic.
Uppercase forms stay clean and simplified, relying on broad curves and straight strokes for clarity. Lowercase letters maintain open counters and sturdy joins, and the consistent stroke treatment helps the set feel cohesive across display sizes. The sample text shows strong emphasis and dark color, making it especially effective for short lines and prominent messaging.
