A compact, slanted sans with sturdy strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Letterforms lean consistently, with broad, even strokes and minimal modulation, producing a solid, high-impact silhouette. Counters are generally open and circular-to-oval, while terminals are clean and blunt, keeping the shapes crisp at display sizes. The overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with slightly condensed proportions and clear, simplified construction in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and emphasis in UI or editorial layouts where strong presence is needed. It fits branding for sports, fitness, automotive, and other energetic contexts, as well as packaging and promotional materials. For longer paragraphs, it works most comfortably in larger sizes where the tight, slanted rhythm remains easy to track.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, with a forward-leaning momentum that feels sporty and contemporary. Its weight and oblique stance communicate urgency and emphasis, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result reads as confident, promotional, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as a punchy, modern oblique sans for attention-grabbing display typography. It prioritizes speed and impact through consistent slant, compact proportions, and rounded, simplified forms that stay clean and readable in bold applications.
Uppercase forms feel strong and compact with generous curves in C/G/O/Q, and the diagonal stress from the slant adds a sense of speed. Lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with single-storey shapes where expected and clear differentiation in key letters. Numerals are sturdy and legible, designed to match the same compact, forward-leaning rhythm.
