A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and a clean, geometric construction. Strokes remain largely uniform with minimal contrast, producing a steady, contemporary rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and terminals stay crisp and straightforward, avoiding decorative detailing. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a brisk rightward slant that keeps lines feeling fast and forward-moving.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding systems, and any context that benefits from strong emphasis and forward motion. It works well for sports and lifestyle messaging, packaging callouts, and bold typographic statements where short-to-medium text needs to land with impact.
The overall tone is punchy and energetic, with a distinctly modern, sporty edge. Its weight and slant read as confident and emphatic, giving text a sense of momentum and urgency without turning informal or novelty-driven.
This design appears intended as an impactful, contemporary oblique sans for display-led typography—prioritizing presence, speed, and clarity through broad proportions, strong weight, and simplified, geometric letterforms.
Figures are robust and highly prominent, matching the letter weight closely for strong numeric presence in layouts. The oblique angle is consistent across glyphs, and the wide set helps keep counters open and shapes legible when used at larger display sizes.
