A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, with compact counters and firmly weighted terminals that create strong, dark word shapes. The oblique slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the proportions favor a high, sturdy lowercase with short ascenders/descenders. Forms like the double-storey “a” and “g,” the circular “o,” and the clean, open “e” reinforce a contemporary, engineered feel with crisp joins and minimal ornament.
Best suited to headlines, logos, campaign graphics, and short-to-medium copy where a strong, dynamic voice is needed. It works well for sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and promotional posters, and can also serve as an emphatic typographic accent in editorial layouts.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a sporty, forward-leaning energy. Its weight and steady slant communicate confidence and urgency, making messages feel direct and high-impact rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact oblique sans that stays clean and readable while emphasizing motion and emphasis through slant and weight. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent rhythm for attention-driven typography.
The numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy construction, maintaining consistent color in sequences. Uppercase forms read as compact and stable, while the lowercase keeps a tight rhythm that supports dense setting and headline use.
