A slanted, geometric sans with smooth, rounded curves and sturdy, uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are compact and tightly drawn, with generous counters and clean terminals that avoid ornamental detailing. The rhythm is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a solid, forward-leaning texture that stays legible even at heavier sizes.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, promotional graphics, and branding where a strong, kinetic presence is desirable. It also works well for sports and lifestyle communications, packaging callouts, and short UI or signage labels that benefit from high-impact, slanted sans typography.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with an energetic, contemporary voice. Its oblique stance and sturdy shapes suggest motion and momentum, giving headlines and short phrases a confident, sporty character without becoming aggressive or rough.
Designed to deliver a modern oblique sans voice with strong presence and clear, geometric structure. The intention appears to be a versatile display companion that communicates speed and confidence while maintaining clean, uncluttered forms.
Round characters like O and Q read as near-circular with a clear, uncomplicated construction, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize the font’s forward-tilted posture. The numerals are similarly robust and straightforward, matching the letters closely for cohesive typographic color.
