A heavy oblique sans with compact proportions and a clean, geometric construction. Strokes are broadly even with rounded corners and smooth curves, giving letters a sturdy, high-ink presence. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, and curves (C, G, O, Q) read as near-circular with controlled apertures. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, emphasizing momentum and impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and attention-grabbing UI moments (buttons, hero banners, promo tiles) where a forward, energetic voice is desired.
The font conveys speed and confidence, with a sporty, promotional tone. Its bold, slanted forms feel energetic and attention-seeking while still approachable due to the rounded geometry and simple shapes.
Designed to deliver a modern, energetic sans voice by combining a pronounced oblique stance with dense, geometric letterforms and minimal stroke modulation. The emphasis is on immediate readability at display sizes and a strong, athletic presence in branding and promotional typography.
Lowercase forms appear single-storey where applicable (notably the “a”), reinforcing a contemporary, simplified feel. Numerals are sturdy and legible with smooth curves and clear differentiation, suitable for scorelines or short data callouts. The design favors strong silhouettes and compact spacing over delicate detail.
