A heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, smoothly swelling curves. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with softened corners and generous interior counters that keep shapes readable despite the mass. The italic slant is consistent and mechanical rather than calligraphic, producing a forward-leaning rhythm; terminals tend to be blunt or gently curved, and bowls are full and elliptical. Numerals match the same robust, slightly condensed feel, giving the set a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, short subheads, and display settings where a strong, italicized presence helps communicate motion and emphasis. It fits well in sporty branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional copy where bold impact matters more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a forward-driving attitude that reads as sporty and promotional. Its rounded forms soften the impact just enough to feel friendly rather than aggressive, while the strong slant adds urgency and motion.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis with a clean sans foundation, using consistent oblique geometry and rounded, sturdy forms to create a fast, energetic voice for display typography.
The heavy weight and tight letterfit create a dense, high-contrast-on-the-page word shape, making it most effective when used with ample spacing and clear hierarchy. The oblique angle contributes significantly to its personality, so it tends to look most intentional when set in short bursts rather than long, uninterrupted reading.
