A slanted, heavy sans with rounded construction and smooth curve-to-stem transitions. The letterforms show clear, consistent italic shear and a generally geometric feel, with broad bowls (O, Q, 0) and sturdy verticals that keep counters open. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with a few angled cuts that reinforce the forward motion. Proportions read as contemporary and compact, with slightly tighter apertures and generous stroke weight producing a solid, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and identity work where a strong, kinetic voice is needed. It should work well on posters, packaging, sports and fitness branding, and promotional graphics where bold italic typography carries the message.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its weight and rounded shapes make it feel approachable while still projecting confidence and urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-energy italic sans that stays clean and legible while maximizing impact. Its rounded geometry and simplified details aim for versatility in contemporary display applications without introducing decorative complexity.
In the grid, numerals and capitals appear designed for clarity at display sizes, with simple, unembellished forms and stable spacing. In the paragraph sample, the slant and dense color create strong emphasis, making the face feel most at home when it’s allowed to be seen rather than read for long stretches.
