A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely monoline stroke behavior. Letterforms are built from simple geometric shapes—circular bowls and clean, straight stems—with a consistent forward slant that creates momentum. Counters are moderately open, terminals are mostly blunt and cleanly finished, and joins stay crisp without decorative flaring. Figures are sturdy and clear, with an even rhythm and strong color that holds together well in short strings and headings.
Best suited to display settings where a strong, forward-leaning voice is useful—headlines, posters, brand marks, promotional graphics, and sports or performance-themed applications. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis (pull quotes, UI labels, section headers) where a compact, high-impact oblique sans is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its slanted stance and substantial weight suggest speed and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The feel is modern and functional, leaning toward athletic and tech-adjacent styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that feels fast and purposeful. Its geometric construction and smooth rounding aim for broad legibility and a clean silhouette, while the consistent slant adds motion and a contemporary, action-oriented character.
Capitals read particularly stable and sign-like, while lowercase forms show a simplified, streamlined construction that favors clarity over calligraphic nuance. The forward slant is consistent across letters and numerals, helping the type maintain a cohesive flow in continuous text while still emphasizing emphasis and motion.
