A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, softly squared curves and a compact overall footprint. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with smooth joins and broad counters that keep shapes open despite the weight. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a forward-leaning rhythm, while terminals tend to feel blunt and slightly softened rather than sharp. Numerals and round letters lean toward geometric construction, with a stable baseline and sturdy, display-oriented proportions.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a strong, fast, and modern voice is needed. It performs well on posters, packaging, and promotional graphics, and can add a sporty, energetic character to logos and social media creative.
The font projects speed and impact, combining a muscular weight with a friendly, rounded finish. Its forward slant and tight, confident forms give it a sporty, headline-ready tone that reads as contemporary and energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-moving sans that stays approachable through rounded geometry and simplified details. It prioritizes visual impact and consistent slanted rhythm for display use, aiming for clarity and punch in prominent sizes.
Uppercase forms are bold and simplified, with clean interior spaces and minimal detailing. Lowercase shows single-storey, highly simplified shapes and a compact, cohesive texture, making the type feel uniform and emphatic in running lines. The sample text demonstrates strong word-shape and emphasis at larger sizes, where the slant and thick strokes become a key part of the voice.
