A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Letterforms are built from smooth, rounded geometry with subtly sheared terminals and angled joins that reinforce forward motion. Curves are full and continuous, while straights lean consistently, creating a strong diagonal rhythm; the overall texture is dark and even, with openings kept relatively tight in letters like a/e/s. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, slightly compressed counter shapes and a cohesive, punchy silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, posters, and prominent UI or wayfinding where bold, slanted forms help convey motion and urgency. It can work well for sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and promotional graphics; for long-form reading, its dense color and tight counters will feel heavy.
The tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, suggesting speed and confidence. Its aggressive slant and thick strokes feel promotional and action-oriented rather than quiet or literary, giving text a headline-driven, high-energy voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines rounded geometry with a strong forward slant to communicate speed and emphasis. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes and consistent diagonal momentum for branding and attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters (O/Q) read as thick ovals, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are emphasized with sharp, wedge-like intersections. The italic construction is more of a purposeful oblique with reinforced diagonals, making the face feel engineered for impact at display sizes.
