A heavy, slanted sans with rounded, geometric construction and dense, ink-rich shapes. Curves lean toward circular bowls (notably in O, C, and lowercase o), while joins and terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the silhouette crisp despite the weight. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm and strong rightward momentum. Spacing appears fairly tight for a display voice, with large counters where possible to preserve clarity at bold sizes, and robust figures designed to match the letter weight.
Best used for bold headlines, short callouts, and branding where the slanted, heavy forms can carry personality and impact. It fits well in sports and lifestyle identities, product packaging, promotional graphics, and UI moments like banners or hero text where quick readability and strong presence are priorities.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with a sporty, energetic feel that reads as modern and approachable rather than formal. Its strong mass and steady slant add urgency and confidence, making it well suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
This font appears designed to deliver high-impact, modern display typography with a consistent forward lean and rounded geometry, emphasizing speed and confidence while keeping letterforms simple and highly legible at larger sizes.
Round letters maintain smooth contours without sharp corners, while diagonals (such as in A, V, W, X, and Z) feel sturdy and slightly compact. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” style, reinforcing a contemporary, simplified voice. Numerals are bold and headline-ready, with a consistent slant that keeps mixed text and numbers visually unified.
