A slanted, heavy sans with smooth, rounded curves and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are compact with broad counters and a consistent, slightly condensed rhythm, giving lines a tight, forward-leaning flow. Terminals are clean and largely squared-off, while curves stay circular and controlled, producing a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Numerals match the same solid, simplified construction and maintain even color across a line.
Best suited to headlines, posters, brand marks, and short emphatic copy where a bold, slanted voice helps grab attention. It can also work for sports and tech-themed identities, packaging, and promotional graphics where dense typographic color and forward motion are desirable.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary flavor driven by the pronounced slant and dense weight. It reads as confident and modern rather than delicate or nostalgic, emphasizing speed and impact.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact sans voice with a built-in sense of movement. The controlled geometry and compact proportions suggest an intention to stay clean and legible while projecting speed, strength, and modernity in display settings.
The italic angle is prominent enough to read as a designed slant rather than an incidental oblique, and the forms keep consistent geometry across upper- and lowercase. Round letters (like O/C) remain smooth and stable, while diagonals (like K/V/W/X/Y) feel firm and punchy, reinforcing a performance-oriented texture.
