A heavy, forward-slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are monolinear with minimal contrast, and terminals are cleanly cut for a crisp, modern finish. Counters tend to stay open despite the weight, with circular forms leaning toward geometric ovals in the italic slant. The overall rhythm is steady and solid, with clear, sturdy shapes across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, hero text, posters, and bold brand marks. It also works well for packaging and promotional graphics that need a modern, athletic voice, and for short bursts of UI or wayfinding text where strong emphasis is desired.
The tone is energetic and contemporary, combining a strong, high-impact presence with a streamlined, no-nonsense look. Its slant adds motion and urgency, giving the face a sporty, performance-oriented feel while staying clean and professional.
Designed to deliver a fast, forceful sans voice that reads immediately at large sizes, pairing geometric clarity with an italicized sense of movement for attention-grabbing communication.
Lowercase forms read compact and purposeful, with single-storey shapes where expected and a simplified, geometric construction. The numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, staying bold and highly visible at display sizes.
