A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and unadorned, giving the forms a solid, contemporary feel. The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with slightly condensed-looking capitals and sturdy lowercase shapes that keep counters open enough for display sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the overall geometric, no-nonsense construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where a strong, dynamic sans can carry short phrases at large sizes. It can also work well for sports or event graphics, signage-like applications, and bold callouts where emphasis and speed are part of the message.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, fast-moving slant that reads as active and confident. Its mass and forward angle give it a bold, promotional voice suited to attention-grabbing messages rather than quiet text.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-impact oblique style that feels fast and assertive while staying clean and broadly utilitarian. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouettes, consistent slant, and simple geometry for clear, energetic display typography.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, creating a cohesive sense of motion. Round letters stay fairly circular for the weight, while diagonals and joins are simplified to maintain a strong silhouette.
