A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact, rounded forms and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are broad and continuous, terminals are mostly cleanly cut, and counters are fairly open for the weight. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more human rhythm through angled joins and simplified, single-storey-style silhouettes. Numerals are wide and stable with clear differentiation, matching the same energetic slant and sturdy stroke presence.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display typography where speed and emphasis are desirable—sports and performance branding, promotional posters, bold UI callouts, and packaging headers. It can also work for short blocks of text at larger sizes when a strong, dynamic voice is needed.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sense of motion created by the consistent slant and strong weight. It feels contemporary and performance-oriented—more “go” than “calm”—while still staying clean and legible.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-impact italic voice that remains clean and readable, pairing geometric roundness with a compact, assertive stance for attention-grabbing typography.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum in headlines, and the spacing feels tuned for dense, impactful settings. Round letters (like O/Q and 0) maintain smooth, even curvature, helping the style stay cohesive across letters and figures.
