A slanted, heavy sans with smooth, geometric construction and broad oval curves. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with clean terminals and a consistent, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, and the overall fit feels tight but not cramped, producing a compact, punchy texture in lines of text. Figures match the same sturdy, streamlined logic, with simple shapes and clear silhouettes.
Well suited for headlines, short statements, and promotional copy where impact and momentum matter. Its sturdy shapes and clear curves also make it a strong option for branding, sports-oriented design, and attention-grabbing signage, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and purposeful, with an athletic, forward-moving feel driven by the oblique stance and strong weight. It reads as contemporary and pragmatic rather than decorative, projecting confidence and urgency without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a robust oblique companion for contemporary sans typography, prioritizing impact, speed, and clear silhouettes. Its geometry and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on versatile display use while retaining enough clarity for brief text blocks.
The slant is uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive motion across mixed-case settings. Curved letters (like C, G, O, Q) emphasize roundness, while diagonals (like A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and stable, supporting strong sign-like readability at larger sizes.
