A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes remain largely even, with broad, blunt terminals and softly radiused joins that keep counters open despite the weight. The proportions feel expanded and stable, while the italic angle and simplified shapes create a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals and capitals read cleanly at display sizes, with generous, circular bowls and minimal internal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and identity work where a strong, slanted sans can convey speed and confidence. It works well for posters, marketing, and sporty or tech-adjacent branding, and holds up in large on-screen typography where its rounded forms and open counters maintain clarity.
The tone is energetic and contemporary, combining the confidence of a thick stroke with the momentum of an oblique stance. Its rounded geometry softens the aggressiveness, yielding a sporty, approachable voice that still feels bold and promotional.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic sans that feels fast and modern while staying friendly through rounded geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent stroke behavior for clear recognition in display and branding contexts.
Round characters (like O/0 and C/G) emphasize near-circular bowls, contributing to a cohesive, engineered look. The overall texture in text is dark and smooth, with consistent spacing that favors impact over delicate typographic nuance.
