A slanted, geometric sans with dense, compact proportions and sturdy strokes. Curves are round and smooth, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, while diagonals and joins keep a tight, engineered feel. Counters are moderately closed in letters like a/e/s, and the overall rhythm is consistent and blocky, creating strong word shapes. Figures are straightforward and sturdy, matching the letters’ utilitarian, high-contrast-on-the-page presence.
Best suited to headlines, promotional copy, posters, and branding where a strong, fast, modern tone is desired. It also works well for sports, automotive, and tech-adjacent identities, as well as packaging or labels that benefit from compact, high-impact typography. For longer text, it will be most comfortable in short bursts such as captions, pull quotes, or UI highlights where emphasis is intentional.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a contemporary, action-oriented voice. It reads as assertive and functional rather than delicate, lending a sense of speed and momentum while staying clear and controlled.
The design appears intended to provide a forceful, contemporary italic sans with a compact footprint and strong emphasis, optimized for attention-grabbing display use while maintaining clean, geometric legibility.
The oblique angle is integral to the design rather than a mild slant, and the heavier mass concentrates at joints and curves, giving lines a punchy texture. Round letters like O/C/G stay fairly circular, while forms like S and a show tightened apertures that favor impact over airiness.
