A slanted sans with sturdy, even strokes and softly rounded curves. The drawing favors simple geometric construction with circular bowls and straight, sheared terminals, creating a clean, continuous rhythm across text. Counters are open and shapes stay compact, while the heavy weight and oblique angle emphasize forward motion and keep lines of text visually cohesive.
Well suited for punchy headlines, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a sense of motion and impact. It can also work for sports and tech-forward identity systems, packaging, and short UI or signage lines where strong presence and quick recognition are more important than long-form comfort.
The overall tone feels energetic and contemporary, with a confident, performance-driven attitude. Its lean and dense color suggest speed and efficiency, giving it a sporty, utilitarian voice rather than a decorative one.
Designed to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans voice with a streamlined, geometric feel, prioritizing impact and momentum while maintaining clean, legible forms.
Curves and joins are kept smooth and controlled, and the slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The numerals match the same robust, streamlined styling, supporting a uniform typographic color in mixed content.
