A compact, slanted sans with sturdy, low-modulation strokes and smoothly rounded curves. The letterforms lean consistently forward with a slightly condensed feel in the capitals and a close, efficient rhythm across the lowercase. Curves are clean and geometric, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving the face a firm, engineered look. Numerals follow the same forward-leaning stance with sturdy, easily read shapes.
Best suited to display settings where a strong, fast, modern voice is needed—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and prominent UI or product callouts. Its compact, oblique forms also fit sports, fitness, and performance-oriented branding, as well as packaging and signage where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with an athletic, forward-motion impression created by the strong oblique angle and compact proportions. It feels contemporary and utilitarian rather than decorative, projecting confidence and urgency in headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, modern sans voice with built-in emphasis through consistent forward slant and dense, high-impact color. Its simplified, geometric construction prioritizes immediate readability and a sense of motion for attention-driven typography.
The sample text shows the italic slant holding up well at larger sizes, where the compact spacing and heavy color create strong emphasis. Round letters like O and Q read as solid, smooth ovals, while diagonal-heavy forms (K, V, W, X, Y) reinforce the brisk, dynamic texture. The lowercase includes single-story a and g, contributing to a simplified, modern texture.
