A slanted, geometric sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded counters. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals), while joins and terminals are clean and straightforward, producing a crisp, contemporary silhouette. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed in the uppercase, with a steady rhythm and minimal contrast that keeps texture consistent in continuous text. The lowercase maintains a familiar, workmanlike structure with simple bowls and open apertures, reinforcing legibility at display and short-text sizes.
Works best for headlines, posters, and brand moments where speed and impact are priorities. It’s a strong fit for sports and fitness communication, promotional advertising, and bold interface accents such as hero banners, labels, and navigation where a dynamic voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and contemporary, with an athletic, forward-leaning posture. It reads as confident and no-nonsense, suited to messaging that benefits from momentum and emphasis rather than softness or elegance.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact italic voice that stays clean and geometric, prioritizing consistent texture and quick readability while conveying motion and urgency.
The slant is pronounced enough to create motion without becoming calligraphic, and the round forms stay stable and controlled across letters and figures. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with strong, simple shapes that match the weight and cadence of the alphabet.
