A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with smooth joins and softly squared terminals that keep the forms sturdy and compact. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating strong forward motion, while counters stay relatively open for a weight this dense. Overall spacing reads on the tight side, emphasizing a solid, poster-like texture in text settings.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and display typography where weight and slant can do the work—posters, event graphics, and bold brand lockups. It also fits packaging and apparel or sports-themed materials that benefit from a compact, high-impact voice. For longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes with comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and insistent, with a sporty, punchy character that feels built for attention-grabbing statements. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, while the strong slant adds urgency and momentum.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-impact italic sans for display use, combining geometric roundness with a consistent forward slant to create motion and emphasis. The simplified lowercase and distinctive diamond tittle suggest a contemporary, logo-friendly intent while keeping the overall texture robust and legible at large sizes.
Lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simplified, modern shapes; the dot on i/j is rendered as a small lozenge/diamond, adding a subtle distinctive detail. Numerals are bold and rounded, matching the letterforms and maintaining a consistent, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes.
