A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded bowls and generally squared-off terminals. Curves are smooth and geometric, while joins and corners are slightly softened, keeping the texture dense without feeling sharp. The letterforms sit on a stable baseline with a forward-leaning rhythm, and counters remain open enough to hold up at display sizes. Numerals and capitals feel particularly solid and compact, emphasizing strong silhouettes and even color across a line.
Best suited for headlines, short captions, and large-scale copy where weight and slant can create urgency and emphasis. It works well in branding and packaging that needs a modern, high-impact voice, and it naturally fits sporty or action-oriented applications such as apparel graphics and promotional materials.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, combining a sporty forward motion with an approachable, rounded build. It reads as assertive and contemporary, suited to attention-grabbing messages where impact and momentum matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended as an impactful italic sans that maintains legibility while projecting speed and strength. Its rounded geometry and compact mass aim to deliver a contemporary, energetic look that stays clean in bold, high-contrast layouts.
The slant is consistent across cases, and the shapes favor sturdy, simplified construction over intricate detailing. Stroke endings and interior counters stay clean, giving the design a crisp, poster-friendly presence.
