A heavy, oblique sans with rounded curves and compact, slightly condensed proportions. Strokes are largely monolinear, with smooth circular bowls and clean, straight terminals that follow the slanted axis. Uppercase forms read sturdy and geometric, while lowercase includes single-storey shapes (notably the “a”) and a friendly, rounded “e,” giving the set a contemporary, streamlined rhythm. Numerals are wide and stable with generous interior counters, designed to stay clear at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where impact and motion are desirable—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, sports branding, and promotional layouts. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts, especially when a fast, modern tone is needed.
The strong slant and tight, athletic letterforms create a sense of forward motion and urgency. It feels contemporary and assertive, with a sporty, headline-driven character that reads as energetic rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans voice that reads quickly and projects momentum. The combination of rounded geometry, compact proportions, and consistent oblique angle suggests an emphasis on energetic display typography for contemporary branding and editorial emphasis.
The italic construction appears purpose-drawn (not merely skewed), with consistent slant across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters remain open and the curves are kept smooth, helping the face maintain clarity despite its heavy color and compact spacing tendencies.
