A heavy, right-leaning oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and softened terminals. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast weight while the shapes show gentle tapering and slight angularity in joins, giving a brushlike, motion-driven rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with compact apertures in letters like e and a, and a sturdy, rounded construction in C, O, and S. Figures are thick and simplified, with an oval 0 and broad, stable forms that read best at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, short subheads, and brand marks that need a sense of speed and emphasis. It can work effectively on posters, packaging, and promotional graphics where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage, and it pairs nicely with simpler upright sans styles for supporting text.
The overall tone feels fast and punchy, with a sporty, mid-century leaning slant that suggests movement and confidence. Its rounded shapes keep it friendly and approachable, while the heavy weight adds impact and a poster-like assertiveness.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, motion-forward sans voice that bridges geometric roundness with a brush-leaning, italicized energy. The intent appears to prioritize visual punch and a sporty, retro-flavored presence in display settings.
The texture across lines is lively due to the combination of strong slant, rounded geometry, and slightly varied widths between glyphs. In longer text, the slanted forms create a pronounced forward flow and a dense, dark color that favors short bursts over extended reading.
