A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded, compact counters and a dense overall color. Curves are smooth and slightly squashed into wide ovals (notably in O and 0), while diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, and X are sturdy and clean. Terminals are mostly blunt and streamlined, and the forms rely on simple geometric construction with gentle rounding rather than sharp corners. Numerals follow the same robust, low-detail approach, with broad strokes and strong, legible silhouettes in large sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and brand marks where bold slanted type is desired. It also fits sports and tech-adjacent graphics that benefit from a fast, energetic rhythm and strong silhouettes.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its pronounced slant and thick strokes create a sense of motion and urgency, leaning toward modern advertising and performance-oriented branding rather than quiet, editorial refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a streamlined, geometric sans structure, using a strong slant and rounded construction to convey speed and confidence. It prioritizes bold readability and visual momentum for attention-grabbing display typography.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create tight internal spacing and strong word-shapes, making the type feel confident and compact. The rounded bowls and counters help keep the texture friendly despite the intensity, but the dense strokes suggest it will be most comfortable at display sizes rather than long passages.
