A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are uniform and low in contrast, with rounded, slightly squared-off curves that keep forms sturdy at large sizes. The italics-like slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a forward-leaning rhythm; joins and terminals stay blunt and simplified rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms show a large x-height and tightly controlled apertures, giving the text a dense, blocky color in paragraphs.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, title cards, and bold branding systems. It also fits sports and automotive-style graphics, packaging callouts, and short UI labels where a strong, compact presence is desirable.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and contemporary, with a forward motion that reads as athletic and action-oriented. Its weight and width project confidence and impact, leaning more toward performance branding than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, forward-leaning sans for branding and display typography, prioritizing mass, speed, and legibility in large, punchy statements.
Wide set capitals and numerals emphasize horizontals, while rounded bowls (O, Q, 8) keep the face friendly despite the mass. In text, the combination of slant and tight counters creates strong word-shapes and a pronounced “headline” feel even at smaller line lengths.
