A heavy, forward-leaning sans with largely geometric construction and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes remain consistently thick overall, with crisp, angled terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that emphasize motion. Uppercase forms are broad and clean, with circular counters in letters like O and Q and compact joins in multi-stem shapes such as M and N. The lowercase is sturdy and legible, using a single-storey a and g, a rounded e with a compact aperture, and a high-shouldered r; numerals are similarly bold with open, simplified forms.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and attention-grabbing advertising. It also works well for short UI labels or packaging callouts where a bold, dynamic voice is needed, while longer text is likely better reserved for larger sizes due to the dense stroke weight.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its slanted stance and sharp terminals add urgency and momentum, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with an inherent sense of speed. By combining geometric bowls with angled terminals and a pronounced slant, it aims to read quickly and project confidence in branding and promotional contexts.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, and the design balances circular bowls with wedge-like diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, and Y). Counters stay relatively open for a heavy style, and the rhythm feels compact and punchy, favoring impact over delicate detail at small sizes.
