A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Letterforms are built from rounded-rect and oval geometry, with smooth curves paired to crisp, cut terminals that often read as angled slices. The stroke weight stays visually steady, while the italic slant and wide stance create a strong forward motion. Shapes like O, C, and G are full and rounded, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z are thick and emphatic. Numerals are sturdy and simple, matching the uppercase’s dense texture and the lowercase’s bold, rounded bowls.
Best suited to attention-grabbing applications such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It performs well when you want large-scale impact and a dynamic slanted feel, and it can work for short subheads or tags where dense, confident emphasis is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a clear “go-fast” attitude. Its wide, slanted massing feels athletic and promotional, leaning into impact and momentum rather than refinement. The combination of soft curves and sharp, angled endings gives it a contemporary, action-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, modern slant—pairing wide, rounded construction with angled terminals to create motion and urgency. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, brandable shapes, and an assertive presence for promotional typography.
The spacing and rhythm produce a dark, compact typographic color, especially in longer lines of text. Round letters remain open enough for recognition, but the heavy weight and compact apertures favor display sizes. The forms appear optimized for strong silhouettes and quick readability at distance.
