A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and a strong rightward slant. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a dense, high-impact color, while corners and joins are subtly rounded, giving the forms a smooth, superelliptical feel rather than sharp geometry. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are somewhat closed, which reinforces the sturdy, blocky silhouette. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” and numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the overall mass and rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display copy, sports branding, promotional graphics, and packaging where a bold, forward motion is desirable. It can work for short blurbs or slogans, but the dense forms and strong slant may feel heavy in extended reading.
The combination of weight and slant creates a fast, driven tone that reads as sporty and punchy. Rounded shaping softens the aggression just enough to feel contemporary and approachable, while still projecting confidence and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis and speed through a steep oblique stance and compact, rounded geometry. It aims to balance forceful display presence with smooth, contemporary curves for broad, energetic branding use.
Letterforms show a consistent, engineered slant and steady stroke behavior, with rounded curves that keep diagonals and bowls from feeling brittle. In longer samples the italic angle and dense spacing produce a cohesive, poster-like texture that favors impact over airiness.
