A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, compact forms and smooth, low-modulation strokes. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while terminals are softly finished, giving curves a cushioned feel. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the overall drawing favors broad arcs and sturdy diagonals. Spacing appears moderately tight, producing a dense, poster-ready texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short bursts of text where weight and slant can add motion and emphasis. It performs well in posters, sports and lifestyle identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage, especially when set with generous line spacing to keep counters from filling in.
The face projects speed and impact with a friendly edge—more athletic and contemporary than formal. Its strong black shapes and steady slant create an assertive, forward-moving tone that reads as energetic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic sans for display use, combining sturdy construction with rounded curves to keep the tone approachable. The consistent oblique angle and compact rhythm suggest a focus on momentum and immediacy in branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase shapes lean toward geometric simplicity, while lowercase forms show more warmth and asymmetry (notably in the rounded bowls and single-story shapes). Numerals are bold and steady, matching the letterforms’ compact rhythm and maintaining clear silhouettes at larger sizes.
