A slanted sans with compact proportions and sturdy, uniform strokes. Round letters are built from clean circular/elliptical forms with smooth joins, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y, k) feel crisp and decisive. Terminals are predominantly straight-cut, counters are fairly open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, producing a dense, energetic texture in text. Numerals follow the same no-nonsense geometry, with sturdy bowls and straightforward construction that matches the capitals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and promotional copy where a bold, kinetic voice is helpful. It can also work for sports/fitness branding and energetic packaging, especially in short phrases, labels, or callouts where compact, high-impact typography is desired.
The strong slant and dense, solid shapes give the font an assertive, fast-moving tone. It reads as contemporary and performance-oriented—more about impact and momentum than delicacy or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, contemporary sans voice with added speed and emphasis through a pronounced slant. Its simplified letterforms and sturdy construction prioritize quick recognition and visual punch in display-driven contexts.
The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a simplified, modern construction. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the heavy black color creates strong presence at display sizes while staying coherent in short blocks of text.
