A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded terminals. Strokes stay largely monoline, relying on weight and shape rather than contrast, and curves are drawn with generous radii that keep counters open. Uppercase forms read compact and sturdy, while lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g) with buoyant bowls and short, assertive joins. The overall rhythm is energetic and even, with clean diagonals and a slightly condensed feel in some letters despite the generally wide stance.
Best suited to large sizes where its weight and slant can deliver immediate impact—headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics that want an energetic, sporty voice while staying clean and readable.
The tone feels sporty and forward-moving, like branding built for speed and impact. Its rounded geometry softens the mass, keeping it friendly rather than aggressive, while the consistent slant adds urgency and momentum. The result suggests a contemporary retro flavor often associated with athletic or automotive styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with built-in motion from the italic angle, prioritizing quick recognition and bold presence. Rounded details and open counters aim to preserve clarity at display sizes while maintaining a friendly, approachable edge.
Figures are thick and highly legible, with rounded shaping that keeps them cohesive alongside the letters. The slant is pronounced but stable, giving headlines a continuous rightward pull without looking calligraphic.
