A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, circular construction and tightly controlled counters. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with smooth curves and slightly flattened joins that help keep the silhouette crisp at display sizes. The letters are compact and weighty, with a forward-leaning rhythm and short, sturdy terminals that emphasize momentum and density across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where impact and motion are desired—posters, bold branding lockups, and energetic campaign graphics. It can also work well on packaging and apparel-style graphics where a compact, punchy italic sans helps text cut through at a distance.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, leaning into a contemporary, sporty voice. Its strong presence and forward slant suggest speed and confidence, while the rounded shapes keep the feel approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic sans that combines geometric roundness with a strong forward slant for emphasis. It prioritizes quick recognition and a cohesive, powerful texture in large sizes over delicate detail.
Uppercase forms read clean and geometric, while the lowercase introduces a more informal texture (notably in round letters and the single-storey-style shapes visible in the sample). Numerals are thick and prominent with simple, legible silhouettes that match the same rounded, oblique logic.
