A heavy, right-leaning sans with smooth, rounded construction and compact internal spaces. Curves are broadly elliptical and joins are clean, giving letters a crisp, manufactured feel rather than a handwritten one. Terminals tend to be squared-off by the slant, while counters in forms like O, P, R, and a stay relatively tight, producing strong color on the page. The overall rhythm is forward-driving, with a consistent oblique angle across uppercase, lowercase, and figures and a slightly compressed, efficient silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It works well for sports and automotive-style graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional layouts where bold, slanted typography supports a sense of speed and emphasis. For paragraphs, it’s most effective in short blocks or pull quotes where intensity is a benefit.
The face reads as fast and assertive, with an athletic, contemporary tone. Its forward slant and dense weight suggest motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, motion-forward sans for impactful display typography. Its rounded geometry and consistent slant aim to balance approachability with high contrast in typographic color, keeping messages loud, compact, and visually cohesive across letters and numbers.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and compact, while lowercase shapes (notably a, g, and e) emphasize rounded bowls and simplified structure for clarity at display sizes. Numerals are similarly rounded and weighty, designed to hold presence alongside caps. In longer text the strong slant and tight counters increase visual intensity, favoring short bursts over extended reading.
