A slanted sans with a sturdy, even stroke and smoothly rounded curves. The geometry leans toward circular construction in C, O, and G, while terminals are clean and largely straight-cut. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact and forward-leaning, with simple, utilitarian shapes and minimal ornamental detail. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly rounded bowls and consistent stroke endings.
Well suited to headlines, hero text, and short-to-medium setting where impact and momentum are desired. It fits branding and promotional work—especially for sporty or tech-adjacent visuals—and can serve as a strong typographic accent alongside a calmer text face.
The overall tone feels brisk and assertive, with an athletic, on-the-move character created by the oblique stance and heavy presence. It reads as contemporary and straightforward rather than delicate or formal, projecting confidence and practicality.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans voice with added motion from an oblique stance, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and visual punch in display-oriented settings.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a cohesive texture in longer lines. Round letters retain smooth continuity, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y give the face a punchy, directional feel.
