A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms lean forward consistently, with broad proportions and generous interior counters that keep the shapes open at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, while curves (C, O, S) read as circular/elliptical and evenly weighted. The overall rhythm is steady and solid, with a slightly compact feel in joins and apertures that emphasizes mass and momentum.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at large sizes: headlines, campaign lines, sports and fitness branding, packaging callouts, and bold UI labels where emphasis is needed. It can work for brief paragraphs, but its strong slant and weight favor display settings over long-form reading.
The forward slant and dense weight give the face a fast, determined tone that feels sporty and modern. Its rounded geometry softens the impact, balancing toughness with approachability. The result is confident and energetic without feeling decorative.
Designed to deliver a high-impact, forward-moving look using simple geometric forms and consistent stroke weight. The intent appears to be a versatile, contemporary italic sans that reads quickly and projects confidence in branding and display typography.
The figures are sturdy and legible, matching the letter weight and slant for consistent color in mixed text. In the sample paragraph, the italic angle and heavy strokes create a strong typographic presence, making the font most effective when it’s meant to be noticed rather than quietly recede.
