A slanted, heavy sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, with broad joins and simplified terminals that keep counters open and legible at display sizes. Proportions feel slightly compact with sturdy verticals and diagonals; the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and tightly controlled, with consistent curvature across rounds like C, O, and S. Numerals match the same robust, streamlined logic, with clean shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where a strong, forward-leaning emphasis is desired. The weight and simplified geometry make it effective for sports and fitness identities, promotional graphics, and packaging titles, while longer text is more appropriate in short bursts or callouts due to the strong slant and dense texture.
The strong oblique angle and dense color give the face a fast, driven tone that reads as contemporary and action-oriented. It feels confident and functional rather than decorative, lending a sense of momentum and emphasis to headlines and short phrases.
Designed to deliver high-impact communication with a clean geometric voice and an inherent sense of motion. The consistent curves and sturdy proportions suggest an intention to remain legible and cohesive in bold, attention-grabbing display applications.
Round letters show near-circular bowls and smooth shoulders, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are emphasized by the slant, reinforcing a sense of speed. The lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey feel where applicable and keeps counters relatively generous for a heavy style, supporting clear word shapes in larger settings.
