A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded bowls and smooth, geometric curves. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with clean joins and a crisp, contemporary silhouette; the italic slant is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, and terminals are generally blunt, giving forms a sturdy, compact feel. The overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with sturdy capitals and a slightly more fluid lowercase that still keeps a tight, bold footprint.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and marketing copy where impact and momentum are desirable. It can also work effectively in branding, packaging, and sports or event graphics, especially at larger sizes where its rounded geometry and oblique stance read clearly.
The font projects speed and assertiveness, with a strong “in motion” stance created by its oblique construction and dense weight. Its tone feels contemporary and sporty, reading as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate or reserved.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, modern sans voice with a strong sense of motion for display-oriented settings. The consistent oblique angle, sturdy construction, and rounded geometric forms suggest an emphasis on energetic communication and high visual presence.
In the samples, the heavy weight produces strong word shapes and solid color on the line, making it best suited to short-to-medium runs of text. Numerals appear robust and legible at display sizes, matching the rest of the set in weight and slant.
