A heavy, slanted sans with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply carved joins. The letterforms are broad and low-contrast in silhouette but show strong internal contrast, with thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes that create a crisp, cut-in feel. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, terminals tend toward tapered or wedge-like finishes, and counters are relatively compact, giving the face a dense, emphatic texture. The rhythm is energetic, with a forward-leaning stance, lively diagonals, and italicized forms that keep word shapes moving across the line.
Best suited for large-scale typography where the slant and contrast can project energy—headlines, cover lines, posters, and bold brand statements. It also fits sports or event graphics and packaging where a compact, punchy voice helps create impact.
The overall tone is forceful and fast, balancing a contemporary, display-driven presence with an editorial polish. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly sporty, headline-oriented attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic sans for display settings, combining broad proportions with dramatic stroke modulation to produce a crisp, energetic texture that stands out in short phrases.
The numerals mirror the same slanted, contrasty construction, with round figures staying weighty and compact while open forms maintain sharp, decisive detailing. At text sizes the dense weight and tight apertures favor short bursts over extended reading, especially in all caps.
