A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, rounded curves and compact internal counters. Stroke endings are clean and mostly sheared by the slant, creating sharp, forward-leaning terminals rather than soft calligraphic tapering. The letterforms feel slightly condensed in their apertures and bowls, with sturdy joins and a consistent, muscular rhythm that keeps texture dense in setting. Numerals match the letters’ weight and slant, with simplified shapes and minimal detailing for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, branding wordmarks, and packaging callouts. It also fits sports and performance-themed graphics where a forward-leaning, high-energy voice is needed. Use at moderate to large sizes to preserve clarity in the tight counters.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a forward motion that reads as sporty and promotional. Its dense blackness and simplified shapes give it a confident, no-nonsense presence suited to bold messaging, while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
This design appears intended as an energetic, impact-driven italic sans for display typography, prioritizing momentum, bold presence, and simple, rounded construction over fine detail. The consistent slant and dense stroke weight suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titles and promotional applications.
Uppercase forms are built for impact with broad curves and reduced counters (notably in round letters), and the italic angle produces pronounced wedge-like top and bottom cuts in several glyphs. The texture remains even in continuous text, but the tight counters and heavy joins can make small sizes feel crowded, favoring larger display use.
