A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric construction. Strokes stay strongly monolinear with clean, open counters and rounded bowls, producing an even, high-impact texture. Curves are generously circular (notably in O, Q, and lowercase o), while joins and terminals remain crisp and straightforward, keeping the letterforms clean at display sizes. The overall rhythm is wide and steady, with sturdy verticals and diagonals that reinforce a forward-leaning, italicized momentum.
Best suited for headlines, large-format typography, and short bursts of copy where impact and motion are desired. It works well for branding systems, promotional graphics, sports and fitness communications, and bold UI moments such as hero banners or feature callouts.
The face reads assertive and fast-moving, with a modern, athletic tone. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, balancing the weight and slant with a friendly, contemporary feel suited to high-energy messaging.
Designed to deliver emphatic, forward-leaning messaging with a clean sans structure and geometric softness. The combination of strong weight, wide stance, and consistent slant suggests an intention to feel dynamic and contemporary while staying legible and straightforward.
Numerals are robust and blocky with clear silhouettes, matching the font’s strong presence. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a modern, simplified voice, while the oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures for cohesive emphasis.
