A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad, rounded curves and compact counters. The construction favors smooth, geometric bowls paired with firm, straight terminals, creating a sturdy silhouette that stays clean at distance. Stroke endings are blunt and consistent, with minimal modulation, and the italic angle gives the forms a continuous rightward momentum. Lowercase shapes are simple and utilitarian, with single-story forms where expected and round dots on i/j; numerals are bold and highly legible with open, uncomplicated interiors.
Best suited to high-impact display roles such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short navigational text or signage where a strong slanted emphasis is desired, but its density and angle make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, athletic rhythm driven by the strong slant and dense weight. It feels modern and pragmatic rather than delicate, projecting clarity, urgency, and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a clean, contemporary sans structure, using a pronounced italic stance to communicate speed and action while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly recognizable.
The slant is substantial and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which amplifies motion in headlines. Round letters (O/C/G) read especially full and smooth, while diagonals (A/K/V/W/X/Y) appear crisp and stable, supporting punchy, high-contrast layouts without relying on fine details.
