A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and clean, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad bowls, open apertures, and smooth joins that keep counters clear at large sizes. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward rhythm; terminals are mostly straight-cut with occasional soft rounding, and the overall spacing reads sturdy rather than airy.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short promotional copy where a strong, fast impression is desired. It fits branding and packaging that benefit from modern, energetic typography, and it can work well for sports, events, or tech-adjacent marketing materials where angled emphasis helps convey motion.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a contemporary, motion-forward feel driven by the strong slant and compact, muscular forms. Rounded shapes keep it approachable, balancing impact with a friendly, modern voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic companion for contemporary display typography: simple geometric construction, consistent stroke weight, and a pronounced slant to communicate speed and confidence while maintaining friendly readability.
Uppercase forms stay simple and geometric, while the lowercase shows clear single-storey constructions and straightforward punctuation-like detailing (e.g., the i/j dots) that supports quick recognition. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ oblique momentum for cohesive display use.
