A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions, smooth curves, and tightly drawn counters. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast rhythm, with squared-off terminals softened by subtle rounding and occasional sheared cuts that reinforce the forward lean. The uppercase is blocky and stable while the lowercase is large and open for its size, with a tall x-height and short extenders; overall spacing feels sturdy and compact, designed to hold solid color in big settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, athletic identities, and bold packaging where a dense silhouette and forward motion are desirable. It can also work for prominent UI labels or signage when used at larger sizes where counters and spacing remain clear.
The tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, reading like performance branding—confident and a bit aggressive without becoming sharp or technical. Its steady mass and forward slant create a sense of motion and urgency that suits energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a streamlined, modern sans structure, using a consistent slant and compact interior space to amplify speed and strength in display typography.
The numerals and capitals have a uniform, billboard-like presence, with closed shapes and reduced interior space that emphasize boldness over delicacy. The italic angle is consistent across letters, helping words form a cohesive, right-leaning texture in text lines.
