A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are largely uniform, with minimal contrast and sturdy terminals that keep counters open at display sizes. The italics are constructed rather than calligraphic, giving the forms a streamlined forward motion; round letters (O, C, G) read as clean ellipses while diagonals (A, V, W, X) feel taut and angular. Lowercase forms are compact and robust, with simple bowls and short joins that emphasize solidity over delicacy, and numerals match the same wide, stable rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and short marketing copy where a strong, dynamic voice is needed. It can also work for packaging or sports/event graphics where width, weight, and slant help create immediate emphasis and motion.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with a strong “forward-lean” energy that suggests movement and momentum. Its bold presence and clean geometry feel sporty and promotional, leaning more toward impact and clarity than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic headline sans that reads quickly and projects confidence. Its constructed italic, wide proportions, and sturdy geometry prioritize impact and a sense of speed for display-oriented typography.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent the heavy, slanted shapes from clogging, and the wide set helps maintain legibility in tight, high-impact settings. The italic angle and broad letterforms create a noticeable horizontal flow, especially in all-caps and headline text.
