A slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and sturdy, even strokes. The letterforms lean consistently, with compact apertures and simplified joins that keep counters open enough for display use while maintaining a tight, dense texture. Curves are built from clean arcs (notably in C, O, S, and the numerals), and terminals read as crisp, squared-off cuts rather than tapered or calligraphic endings. Proportions favor a tall, prominent lowercase presence and a slightly condensed feel in several glyphs, producing a forward-leaning rhythm across words.
Works best for headlines, short statements, and branding where a dynamic, forward-leaning sans is desirable. It also suits sports and activewear identities, poster typography, and packaging callouts that need strong presence at larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast, confident, and contemporary, with a noticeable sense of motion from the steady slant and compact spacing. It feels at home in energetic, performance-oriented contexts where a strong, modern voice is needed without decorative styling.
Likely designed to provide a modern italicized sans voice with high visual momentum and strong impact, prioritizing clean geometry and consistent weight for confident display typography.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric, while lowercase keeps a single-storey construction where expected (e.g., a and g), reinforcing a streamlined, utilitarian look. Numerals are clear and robust, matching the roundness and weight of the letters for consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
