A heavy oblique sans with rounded, softly squared curves and a distinctly forward-leaning stance. Strokes stay largely monoline, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, giving the forms a dense, solid color on the page. Counters are moderately open and generally round, while diagonals (A, K, N, V, W, X, Y) are emphatic and crisp, reinforcing the slanted rhythm. The lowercase shows compact proportions with a sturdy x-height and simple, utilitarian construction; numerals are equally weighty with smooth, geometric silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, and brand moments that need motion and authority. It can also work for subheads or callouts where strong emphasis and compact, readable shapes are helpful.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining a sporty motion with a straightforward, modern utilitarian feel. Its strong slant and sturdy shapes project speed and confidence without becoming decorative or flashy.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic italic voice that reads quickly and confidently, pairing geometric roundness with a solid, advertising-friendly weight for emphasis in display typography.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a continuous forward momentum in text. Round letters like O/C/G read smooth and stable, while angled letters and the strong diagonals add bite; the result is a balanced mix of softness and drive that holds up well at larger sizes.
