A heavy, right-leaning italic with clean, sans construction and a compact, forward-driving rhythm. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with smooth, rounded curves in bowls and counters and crisp terminals that tend to cut on an angle, reinforcing the sense of motion. Uppercase forms read sturdy and geometric, while lowercase shows lively, slightly condensed shapes with single-storey a and g and a straightforward, utilitarian build. Numerals are broad and solid, designed for immediate recognition at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short emphatic statements, and branding where impact and motion are desirable. It will also work well for sports-related identity, promotional posters, and bold packaging typography, especially where a compact, slanted wordshape helps convey speed.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a distinctly forward-leaning, performance-oriented feel. It suggests speed and momentum without becoming decorative, projecting confidence and modernity.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern italic voice for display use—prioritizing punch, pace, and clarity through thick strokes, consistent slant, and simplified, geometric letterforms.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a strong directional flow. Round letters (O/C/G/Q) stay smooth and cohesive, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) appear sharp and emphatic, contributing to a punchy texture in headlines.
