This typeface is a slanted sans with sturdy, even stroke weight and smoothly rounded curves. Letterforms lean consistently forward, with compact proportions and a relatively low x-height that leaves noticeable headroom for ascenders and descenders. Shapes are largely geometric—especially in round letters like O/C/G—while joins and terminals stay clean and streamlined, avoiding decorative endings. Counters are open and legible, and the overall rhythm reads tight and purposeful, with a slightly condensed feel in many glyphs despite generally balanced widths.
This font works best where momentum and impact matter: sports and fitness identities, promotional headlines, posters, and bold product branding. Its clear, rounded construction also suits short UI labels, badges, and callouts where a strong italic voice is desired without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, conveying motion through its consistent slant and firm, solid forms. It feels contemporary and performance-oriented—more “go” than “poetic”—with a straightforward, no-nonsense voice that still remains friendly due to its rounded construction.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans voice that reads quickly and projects speed and confidence. Its geometric roundness and clean terminals suggest a focus on modern versatility, pairing impactful display presence with straightforward legibility for short-to-medium text settings.
Diagonal strokes are prominent and crisp, helping letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, and X feel sharp and energetic while maintaining rounded bowls elsewhere. Numerals match the same forward-leaning stance and robust presence, making them suitable for attention-grabbing, high-contrast settings.
