A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and broad, rounded curves. Strokes are thick and even, producing a strong silhouette with minimal modulation, while counters stay open enough to keep letters distinguishable at display sizes. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a forward-leaning rhythm. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, and many forms (notably C/O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R) emphasize circular geometry for a sturdy, contemporary look.
This font performs best where bold, fast energy is desired—headlines, posters, and prominent callouts. It can also work well for sports and streetwear-style branding, packaging panels, and short signage text where the strong oblique stance helps grab attention.
The overall tone is forceful and upbeat, with a clear sense of speed and momentum from the slant and weight. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, well suited to branding that wants impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact, geometric sans while adding motion through a steady italic angle. It prioritizes a solid, modern texture and quick recognition for short strings and display typography.
At larger sizes the letterforms feel dense and unified, with a strong black presence and short, efficient joins. The numerals match the alphabet in weight and slant, reinforcing a cohesive, headline-oriented voice.
