A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smoothly curved bowls. Strokes remain largely uniform, with crisp terminals and occasional angled cuts that reinforce forward motion. Proportions are generous and open, with wide capitals and sturdy lowercase shapes; counters stay clear even at small sizes. Figures are robust and simplified, matching the letterforms’ strong, streamlined rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, brand marks, and sports or automotive-themed identities. It can also work for short blocks of copy or UI labels when a bold, energetic voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where the slanted rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, contemporary feel. Its slant and compact, muscular forms suggest movement and performance, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result reads as modern and purposeful, suitable for punchy, attention-led typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-energy sans that balances speed cues (oblique stance and angled details) with friendly, rounded geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and clear counters for confident display typography in branding and promotional use.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive forward-leaning texture in text. Curved characters like C, O, and S show smooth, near-circular arcs, while diagonals in A, V, W, and Z emphasize sharp, sporty silhouettes. The lowercase maintains clarity with distinct silhouettes (notably a single-storey a and a simple, rounded e).
