A heavy, oblique sans with geometric construction and broad, rounded curves. Strokes are largely monolinear, with smooth terminals and generously curved bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. The slant is consistent and gives the forms a forward-leaning rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and stable, while round letters (O, Q, C, G) stay close to circular with clean joins. Overall spacing reads solid and compact, suited to short bursts of text and prominent settings.
Best suited to headlines, titles, signage, and branding where a bold, forward-leaning tone helps messages feel active and contemporary. It also works well for packaging and sports or tech-oriented graphics, and can be used for short emphasis in editorial layouts where an assertive italic is needed.
The design feels contemporary and driven, combining athletic urgency with a polished, no-nonsense clarity. Its forward lean and dense color give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice without becoming noisy or decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, energetic italic voice in a clean sans framework—prioritizing impact, smooth geometry, and quick readability in display contexts.
The lowercase shows a friendly, rounded texture with single-storey forms where expected (notably a and g), and the numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the strong, unified weight. The italic angle and substantial stroke thickness create a pronounced typographic "push" that becomes more expressive at larger sizes.
