A heavy, right-slanted sans with smooth, geometric curves and firmly cut terminals. Strokes are largely uniform, with round counters (notably in O, C, e, o) and crisp diagonal joins that keep the rhythm tight and forward-leaning. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with simple, single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a clean, open e; punctuation and numerals match the same blunt, streamlined construction for consistent texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and prominent UI or signage where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It also works well for sports and lifestyle branding, promotional graphics, and packaging that benefits from a compact, high-impact typographic color.
The overall tone is fast and punchy, reading as contemporary and performance-oriented. Its slant and dense letterforms give it a sense of momentum and urgency while staying controlled and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, forward-leaning emphasis with smooth geometry and consistent stroke weight, prioritizing impact and clarity at display sizes while retaining enough regularity for brief text blocks.
Caps are broad and stable with squared-off shoulders and slightly condensed internal space, producing a dark, even color in lines of text. Diagonal-heavy shapes (K, V, W, X, Y) feel particularly dynamic, and the numerals are robust and headline-friendly, with an easily distinguishable 0 and strong, open bowls in 6/8/9.
