A heavy, right-slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes are consistently thick with subtle modulation, and terminals tend to finish cleanly with soft, angled cuts that reinforce the forward motion. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” and a generally closed, punchy rhythm. Numerals are wide and sturdy with strong, simple silhouettes, keeping emphasis on bold legibility and momentum.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desirable. It also fits sports branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing UI or editorial deck treatments where impact matters more than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is fast, confident, and contemporary, with a distinctly kinetic feel driven by the italic slant and compact letterfit. It reads as sporty and promotional, projecting urgency and impact rather than calm neutrality.
Designed to deliver high-impact emphasis with a streamlined, contemporary construction and a pronounced sense of motion. The forms prioritize bold clarity and energetic rhythm, aiming for immediate visibility in display contexts.
Diagonal strokes and joins (notably in K, V, W, X, and the lowercase k) create a crisp zig-zag cadence that pairs well with the round counters in C, O, Q, and e. The shapes stay clean and uncluttered, favoring broad internal spaces and simplified detailing for strong reproduction at display sizes.
