A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, oval-driven bowls and broadly cut terminals. Strokes are largely uniform, giving a solid, blocky color on the page, while the italic angle adds forward motion and tightens the rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend to be closed, producing dense word shapes that read best at larger sizes. Overall proportions feel slightly compressed and sturdy, with smooth curves and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, sports-related graphics, promotional materials, and bold packaging statements. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense counters and strong slant make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and fast, with a strong “go” feeling driven by the pronounced slant and dense black mass. It reads as contemporary and sporty rather than delicate or editorial, projecting confidence and urgency in headlines and short bursts of text.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in an italic sans, combining rounded geometry with a compact, weight-forward build for attention-grabbing typography. The consistent stroke weight and smooth curves suggest an emphasis on clarity at large sizes and a cohesive, modern voice.
The italic construction feels integral rather than merely slanted, with angled joins and a consistent forward lean across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same rounded, weighty logic, maintaining a cohesive texture when mixed with text.
