A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are thick and even, with smoothly curved bowls (notably in C/O/Q) contrasted by crisp, angled terminals and diagonally cut joins. The italic angle is pronounced, creating forward motion, while counters stay relatively open for a dense weight. Letterforms lean toward simple, engineered shapes: straight-sided rounds, sturdy verticals, and compact apertures, producing a tight, powerful texture in text.
Best suited for attention-driven settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, sports or automotive-style graphics, and bold packaging. It will also work for short UI labels or signage where a strong, directional emphasis is desired, but its density makes it more appropriate for display text than long reading.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, suggesting speed, impact, and contemporary utility. Its strong slant and muscular weight read as confident and energetic, with a sporty, performance-oriented feel rather than a quiet editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning, geometric voice—combining sturdy, simplified letterforms with an aggressive oblique stance for motion and presence in branding and display typography.
The uppercase set feels especially solid and stable, while lowercase forms remain simple and workmanlike with single-storey shapes and a functional rhythm. Numerals are bold and straightforward, built to hold their shape at larger sizes. The diagonally emphasized cuts and joins reinforce a dynamic, slightly industrial character.
