A heavy, oblique sans with low contrast strokes and broadly rounded curves. Proportions are generously wide with open counters and a compact, high x-height feel, giving lowercase forms strong presence. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, while joins and bowls stay smooth and geometric, producing an even, steady rhythm across words. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly sturdy weight and straightforward shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where the oblique stance and wide proportions can carry impact. It also works well for advertising, sports and fitness identity, tech-forward packaging, and short UI or signage phrases where clarity at larger sizes is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and forward-leaning, with a sporty, contemporary energy. It reads as functional and confident rather than delicate, suited to messaging that wants to feel fast, strong, and direct.
Designed to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with built-in motion from the oblique angle and a substantial, even stroke. The geometry and open shapes prioritize fast recognition and a clean, contemporary texture while maintaining a distinctly assertive display presence.
The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, keeping texture uniform in longer lines. Round letters (like O/C/G and o/c/e) appear especially smooth and engineered, while diagonals (A/V/W/X) emphasize momentum and punch in display settings.
