A heavy, forward-leaning sans with broad curves and smoothly finished terminals. The forms are compact and tightly drawn, with rounded bowls and counters that stay open despite the weight. Stroke endings and joins are clean and uniform, giving the letters a solid, streamlined silhouette; diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X and Z reinforce the sense of motion. The figures are bold and simple, matching the letters with large, stable shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and short messaging where an energetic slant helps drive emphasis. It can work well for branding in fitness, sports, or automotive contexts, and for packaging or labels that need a strong, condensed punch without sharp, edgy details.
The overall tone is fast and confident, with a strong “in-motion” feel that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. Its dense, slanted shapes suggest urgency and impact, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, italicized voice: bold shapes for visibility, rounded construction for friendliness, and a consistent forward lean to convey speed and momentum.
At larger sizes the italic rhythm becomes a defining feature, creating a strong horizontal flow across words. The weight and compact counters can cause interior spaces to fill in at small sizes, so it visually prefers display settings over long passages.
