A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from broad circular and elliptical forms, while terminals are clean and unadorned, giving a crisp, contemporary finish. Uppercase shapes read compact and sturdy, with wide bowls and smooth joins; lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey look in forms like a and g. Numerals are robust and simplified, matching the alphabet’s solid rhythm and consistent stroke behavior.
Performs best in headlines, branding marks, and short display copy where its oblique energy and sturdy shapes can lead the layout. It’s well suited to sports and active-lifestyle themes, packaging callouts, and marketing graphics that need a bold, modern voice. For long text, it’s more effective as emphasis or subhead styling than as continuous reading.
The slanted stance and dense, rounded forms create a sense of motion and assertiveness without feeling aggressive. It communicates a sporty, upbeat tone—confident and contemporary—suited to attention-grabbing messages and forward-leaning branding.
Likely drawn to deliver a modern, high-impact italic voice that stays clear and geometric while remaining approachable. The design prioritizes momentum, compact strength, and consistent rounded construction for cohesive branding and display typography.
Spacing appears tuned for impact at display sizes, with strong internal counters that keep the black shape from clogging. The overall silhouette stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing a unified, graphic texture in words and short lines.
