A heavy, obliqued sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, even color in text. Letterforms favor geometric construction—circular bowls, clean joins, and sturdy diagonals—while counters stay relatively open for clarity at display sizes. The italic slant is steady and mechanical rather than calligraphic, with terminals cut cleanly and forms kept compact and stable.
Best suited to attention-driving applications such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where impact and speed are desirable. It can also work for short blocks of text in advertising or wayfinding where bold, angled forms help maintain visibility from a distance.
The overall tone feels assertive and forward-leaning, with a contemporary, sporty energy. Its mass and slant create urgency and momentum, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as an impact-oriented italic sans: to deliver a fast, modern voice with strong presence, consistent texture, and straightforward geometry that stays legible under bold weight and slanted posture.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong in headlines, with wide set widths and prominent curves (notably in C/G/O/Q). Numerals are similarly robust and simple, matching the letters’ geometry and maintaining consistent weight and rhythm.
