A slanted, geometric sans with sturdy strokes and smooth, round bowls. The letterforms show a consistent oblique angle, with wide, open counters and simple, unmodulated construction. Curves are clean and circular, while joins and terminals stay crisp and straightforward; diagonals (as in A, V, W, X) feel assertive and slightly compressed by the forward lean. Lowercase forms keep a tall, sturdy stance, and the numerals are rounded and evenly weighted for a uniform texture in text.
Best suited to punchy headlines, short callouts, and branding where an energetic, forward-leaning sans can carry visual momentum. It works well for sports, tech, and contemporary packaging, and can serve as a strong accent face for UI banners or campaign graphics when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and athletic, projecting speed and confidence through its steady slant and solid mass. It feels direct and pragmatic rather than decorative, with an energetic, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric oblique sans that prioritizes impact and clarity. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on clean reproduction and a strong, fast visual voice in display typography.
Spacing and shapes read clearly at display sizes, producing a strong horizontal rhythm in all-caps settings. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case lines look cohesive.
