A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric construction. Strokes are uniform with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, giving the letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and 0), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y and Z are firm and consistent, creating a strong forward rhythm. Spacing appears open for a bold style, supporting clarity in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Well-suited for bold headlines, display typography, and brand marks that need a fast, energetic impression. It should perform strongly in posters, sports or fitness identities, packaging callouts, and large-format signage where the oblique emphasis helps create motion and urgency.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, contemporary voice. Its robust shapes and slanted stance feel active and performance-oriented, reading as sporty and promotional rather than quiet or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with a built-in sense of motion. Its combination of wide stance, consistent stroke weight, and clean geometry suggests an aim for confident display use and brand-forward communication.
The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms where expected (a, g) and maintains the same blunt, modern finishing throughout. Numerals follow the same rounded-geometry logic, with a clear, circular 0 and strong, blocky 1–9 that match the letterweight closely.
