A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, superelliptical curves. Strokes are largely monolinear, with broad terminals and softened corners that keep the forms sturdy rather than sharp. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the overall rhythm feels tight and forward-leaning, helped by generous internal counters in letters like O, P, and a single-storey a. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with smooth curves and minimal detailing.
Best suited for display settings where impact and motion are desired, such as headlines, advertising, posters, and bold brand marks. It also works well on packaging and signage where a contemporary, high-energy tone is needed, while the rounded construction helps maintain clarity at medium sizes.
The font communicates speed and momentum, combining a strong, blocky weight with a clean, contemporary finish. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone approachable, while the pronounced slant adds urgency and performance-oriented energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, assertive voice through a strong oblique stance and simplified geometric construction. Rounded, superelliptical curves balance the weight, aiming for a modern, approachable bold italic that remains clean and highly readable in short text and titles.
Capitals read as simple, engineered shapes with broad curves (notably C, G, O, Q) and a uniform visual mass. Lowercase forms are streamlined and modern; the single-storey a and g, along with the compact, slanted construction, reinforce an athletic, headline-driven personality.
