A compact, strongly slanted sans with heavy, even strokes and tight internal spacing. Curves are smooth and rounded while joins and terminals stay crisp, creating a clean, forward-leaning rhythm. Capitals are tall and streamlined, and the lowercase keeps a steady x-height with simple, open forms; bowls and counters are kept relatively small for a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals follow the same oblique construction, with sturdy shapes that read clearly in large settings.
Works best for headlines, short statements, and display typography where a strong, slanted silhouette adds momentum. It fits branding, packaging, and promotional layouts that need a compact, high-contrast-in-impact look (without relying on thin strokes), and it can also serve for subheads where a decisive, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone feels fast and energetic, with an assertive, promotional voice. Its consistent slant and dense color suggest motion and urgency, giving it a contemporary, sporty character suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful, forward-moving sans voice that stays clean and readable at display sizes. The compact proportions and consistent oblique angle prioritize visual punch and a streamlined, contemporary feel in branding and editorial highlight settings.
The italic construction is uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive flow in words and lines. Round letters (like O/C/e) stay smooth and controlled, while angular forms (like A/V/W/X) emphasize sharp diagonals and a brisk cadence.
