A heavy, oblique sans with low stroke contrast and broadly rounded outer curves paired with blunt, sheared terminals. The letterforms feel compact and dense, with generous counters for the weight and a steady, even rhythm across lines. Geometry leans toward circular and elliptical construction (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R), while diagonals are emphasized by the forward slant and the angled cuts on strokes. Numerals are robust and blocky, with simple silhouettes designed to hold up at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong presence and quick readability are priorities. It also fits energetic contexts like sports and entertainment graphics, as well as packaging and promotional materials that benefit from a bold, italicized emphasis.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, forward-driving attitude created by the slant and the chunky proportions. It reads as modern and approachable rather than technical, projecting confidence and impact without sharp aggression.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using a pronounced oblique stance and simplified, rounded geometry to stay legible while feeling fast and contemporary. The consistent angled terminals suggest an intention to bake “motion” into the forms for assertive display typography.
The design’s visual signature comes from its combination of rounded forms and consistently angled terminals, which adds motion and a slightly compressed, display-oriented feel. Spacing appears tuned for headline density, helping large text blocks look cohesive and punchy.
