A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, brush-like terminals. Strokes feel pressure-shaped rather than purely geometric, with gently tapered joins and soft corners that keep the weight from looking rigid. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves (notably in C, O, S, and 3) are smooth and continuous, giving the design a cohesive, muscular rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with sturdy, simplified forms and an overall compact, energetic texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, promotional graphics, and packaging where bold, italic emphasis is desirable. It can also work for banners and social media ads where strong motion cues and quick readability matter.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, action-oriented feel driven by the strong italic angle and dense weight. It reads as confident and contemporary—more about impact and momentum than restraint or delicacy.
Likely designed to deliver a fast, forceful voice: a bold italic sans that communicates speed and confidence while keeping forms rounded and approachable. The consistent slant and simplified shapes suggest a focus on branding and display typography rather than extended reading.
The design’s softened terminals and slightly calligraphic shaping add warmth and motion, helping it stay legible at display sizes despite the heavy mass. Numerals match the letters in boldness and slant, maintaining a consistent, headline-ready color across mixed content.
