A slanted, heavy sans with broad, rounded curves and clean terminals. Strokes stay largely even, with minimal contrast, and counters are open and simple, creating strong, compact letterforms. The drawing favors geometric construction—circular bowls and smooth arcs—while diagonals and angled joins keep the rhythm brisk. Numerals are sturdy and prominent, matching the letters in weight and forward-leaning posture for consistent texture in display settings.
Well suited to headlines, brand marks, and promotional typography where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It works especially well for sports, tech, or lifestyle branding, as well as posters and packaging that benefit from bold, slanted emphasis. In longer passages it creates a dark, forceful texture best reserved for short bursts of copy.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. Its forward slant and dense black color suggest motion and urgency, making it read as energetic and confident rather than delicate or formal.
Designed to deliver high-impact emphasis with a modern, streamlined sans structure. The intent appears to be a robust italic display face that conveys motion and confidence while staying clean and legible through simple, geometric forms.
The italic angle is noticeable across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a cohesive, continuous flow in text. Spacing appears geared toward impactful headlines, with solid shapes and restrained detailing that hold up well at large sizes.
