A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, continuous curves and crisp, squared terminals. The letterforms lean consistently forward with a compact, solid build and even stroke weight, producing strong silhouettes and a steady rhythm. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while joins and curves stay clean and controlled, giving the design a geometric, contemporary feel across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display where a strong, forward-leaning voice is needed—such as sports and fitness branding, promotional graphics, posters, packaging callouts, and bold UI accents. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the dense weight and slant are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a distinctly contemporary, performance-oriented attitude. Its forward slant and dense color convey motion and confidence, making it feel energetic and headline-driven rather than quiet or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with an inherent sense of motion. By combining a consistent oblique angle with sturdy, geometric construction, it aims to remain clean and legible while projecting speed and emphasis.
Rounded shapes (like O/0 and C) read as smoothly elliptical, while diagonal-heavy forms (K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s speed-oriented stance. Numerals share the same sturdy, compact construction, keeping text blocks visually uniform and impactful.
