A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with smooth curves and firm, straight-sided counters that keep shapes clean at display sizes. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm; terminals are mostly blunt and sturdy, and joins feel compact and tightly engineered. Numerals are bold and stable with generous curves and minimal detailing, matching the overall mass and simplicity of the letterforms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where strong presence is required. It works well for sports and fitness graphics, impactful packaging callouts, and short promotional copy, especially when the design benefits from a dynamic oblique stance.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a fast, forward motion from the slant and a confident, headline-ready presence. It reads as contemporary and athletic, projecting urgency and strength without feeling ornate or delicate.
Likely designed as a display-forward sans that prioritizes impact, speed, and contemporary simplicity. The consistent slant, heavy color, and rounded geometry suggest an emphasis on bold messaging and energetic branding rather than delicate text typography.
In the sample text, the dense weight and oblique angle produce a strong texture, making spacing and line breaks feel visually active. The overall silhouette stays cohesive across mixed-case settings, with the lowercase maintaining clear, rounded forms that reinforce the geometric character.
