A slanted sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and rounded terminals. The forms lean consistently and favor smooth circular geometry in bowls and counters, with minimal modulation and a clean, mechanical construction. Uppercase shapes are broad and stable, while lowercase shows compact proportions with single-storey-style simplicity where visible; the overall rhythm is tight and punchy, especially in numerals and wide letters like W and M.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of copy, and display typography where strong presence and motion are desirable. It should perform well in branding, sports and lifestyle graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional materials, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The font reads energetic and forward-moving, with a confident, performance-oriented tone. Its italic angle and dense color give it an assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing settings rather than quiet, literary ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with an inherent sense of speed. By pairing rounded geometric construction with a consistent slant and dense stroke weight, it aims for clarity and emphasis in display applications.
Curves stay smooth and closed apertures feel relatively tight, which strengthens solidity but can reduce differentiation at small sizes. The numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the alphabet’s rounded, no-nonsense construction.
