A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, tightly drawn curves and dense, ink-trap-free joins. Letterforms are built from broad strokes and compact counters, creating a dark, cohesive texture in text. The uppercase is squat and muscular with simplified, geometric shaping, while the lowercase is tall and full, with single-storey a and g and a strong, continuous forward lean. Numerals are chunky and rounded, matching the letters’ soft corners and thick terminals for a uniform, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where its heavy, rounded forms and strong slant can deliver impact—such as headlines, posters, sports or fitness branding, and energetic promotional graphics. It can work for short, bold callouts or labels, but the compact counters and tight texture make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone reads bold and kinetic, with a distinctly sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its forward slant and compact interiors suggest speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result feels contemporary with a subtle retro display flavor.
This design appears intended to provide an assertive, fast-moving display voice: a thick, rounded italic sans that maximizes visual presence and immediacy. The consistent, simplified geometry and sturdy numerals suggest a focus on punchy branding and attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight in the sample text, emphasizing a solid block of black and strong word shapes. The italics are not merely oblique; many forms look intentionally drawn for the slant, with rounded bowls and diagonals that maintain consistent weight and rhythm.
