A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, softly squared contours and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms are compact with sturdy verticals and broad curves, giving counters a slightly tightened feel at display sizes. Terminals are generally clean and unadorned, with a pragmatic geometric construction that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The numerals are similarly robust, with clear shapes and ample weight that maintains legibility under strong emphasis.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where a forceful, energetic presence is desired. It can work well for branding systems—especially in athletic, tech, or lifestyle contexts—plus packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from bold, forward-leaning typography.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, leaning toward a sporty, contemporary voice. Its slant and dense weight create a sense of motion and urgency, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic italic voice with high impact and clean geometry, prioritizing strong silhouette readability and a contemporary, performance-oriented feel.
The sample text shows a strong, cohesive rhythm in longer lines, with the slant producing forward momentum and a compact texture. Curved letters like O/C/G and the bowls in P/R tend toward circular geometry, reinforcing a modern, engineered feel.
