A slanted sans with sturdy, rounded construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes maintain an even, solid presence with minimal modulation, creating a consistent rhythm across letters and numerals. Counters are fairly open for a heavy style, with softly squared terminals and gently rounded joins that keep forms readable. The set favors clear silhouettes and compact proportions, with straightforward shapes in the lowercase and robust, simplified uppercase.
It works best in headlines, posters, and short, emphatic text where the slant and strong weight can drive attention. The clean, rounded forms also suit sports branding, promotional graphics, packaging callouts, and other applications that benefit from an energetic, modern voice.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a confident, contemporary feel. Its slant adds motion and emphasis, suggesting speed and performance while remaining clean and approachable rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact emphasis with a streamlined, contemporary sans structure. By combining a pronounced slant with rounded, low-contrast forms, it aims for speed and assertiveness while maintaining straightforward legibility.
The italics are built as true slanted forms rather than cursive, keeping letter shapes simple and utilitarian. Numerals match the alphabet’s weight and curvature, reading well at display sizes and retaining clarity in short runs of text.
