A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded geometry and a compact, forward-leaning stance. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and softly squared terminals, creating a sturdy, even texture across lines. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while round glyphs (O, Q, 8, 9) keep clean, circular interiors that stay legible at display sizes. The italic construction feels integral rather than mechanically skewed, with diagonals in A, K, V, W, X and the angled tops in t and f reinforcing the motion.
Best suited to high-impact display work where the slant and weight can carry messaging quickly—headlines, posters, athletic or streetwear branding, and bold packaging systems. It also works well for short bursts of text in ads or social graphics where a strong, modern voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, suggesting speed and assertiveness without becoming aggressive. Rounded forms and generous curves keep it approachable, giving it a contemporary, sporty voice that reads as upbeat and action-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a powerful, fast-moving sans italic that stays clean and readable while projecting momentum. Its rounded construction and consistent weight suggest a focus on contemporary branding and attention-grabbing typography rather than delicate editorial nuance.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with a broad, open C and a prominent, clean G. The lowercase shows single-story constructions (notably a and g) that lean into a contemporary, geometric feel, while the numerals are built for impact with strong silhouettes and minimal ornamentation.
