A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast for a sans, with thick main stems and noticeably thinner joins and terminals. Curves are smooth and fairly geometric, with rounded bowls and compact counters that keep the texture dense. Uppercase forms are sturdy and open, while the lowercase keeps a tall x-height and simplified constructions, producing strong color and clear word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, hero copy, and short statements where the slanted, weighty forms can provide immediate impact. It works well for branding and packaging that needs a modern, sporty edge, and for promotional materials where strong typographic presence is more important than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a fast, athletic feel driven by the oblique stance and dense, high-impact weight. It reads as contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or neutral, giving headlines a sense of motion and urgency.
Likely drawn to deliver a forceful, forward-moving sans voice with extra emphasis from stroke contrast and a consistent oblique angle. The design prioritizes bold presence, quick recognition, and a contemporary, energetic texture in display contexts.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the numerals follow the same bold, rounded logic for a cohesive typographic voice. The combination of wide set and tight internal spaces creates a strong silhouette that favors short bursts of text over small, airy settings.
