Keywords: headlines, posters, branding, sportswear, packaging, dynamic, sporty, modern, confident, friendly, emphasis, modernization, energy, clarity, oblique, geometric, rounded, single-storey, wide apertures.
A slanted, geometric sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and broadly rounded curves. The letterforms show a clean, constructed feel with smooth joins, open counters, and generous apertures that keep the texture clear even at heavier weight. Uppercase shapes are straightforward and compact, while the lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and a simple, efficient rhythm that reads evenly in words. Numerals match the same rounded geometry and maintain consistent color across the set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand statements where an energetic, modern voice is needed. It works well for sports and lifestyle identities, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics, and can also serve in short UI or signage moments where emphasis and clarity matter more than long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a contemporary, athletic flavor. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, making it feel approachable rather than rigid, while the slant adds motion and emphasis suited to action-oriented messaging.
Designed to deliver a modern, motion-forward sans with strong presence and easy readability. The combination of geometric rounding and a consistent slant suggests an intent to balance impact with approachability for contemporary marketing and brand communication.
Diagonal strokes (V/W/X/Y and k) feel especially crisp and decisive, reinforcing a strong directional flow. Terminals tend to be clean and blunt, and the proportions favor clear interior space, which helps maintain legibility in display sizes and short bursts of text.
