A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, superelliptical construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and confident, with clean terminals and smooth joins that keep forms compact and punchy. The uppercase is broad and sturdy, while the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with tight apertures and rounded bowls. Numerals match the set’s mass and slant, using simple, geometric shapes that stay clear at large sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its weight and slant can do the work: headlines, poster typography, sports and streetwear-style branding, and high-impact promotional graphics. It can also function for bold callouts on packaging or UI banners, where a strong, rounded italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is fast, bold, and attention-seeking—more about momentum and impact than neutrality. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise forceful, performance-oriented voice, making it feel sporty and contemporary rather than industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic sans with a geometric, rounded skeleton—combining speed and emphasis with approachable curves. It prioritizes visual punch and cohesive rhythm in display copy over airy text readability.
The slant is consistent across letters and figures, giving lines of text a strong directional rhythm. Counters and apertures tend to be compact, which increases density and reinforces the “headline” character, especially in longer sample text.
