A heavy, slanted sans with geometric construction and rounded joins. Curves read as smooth and broad, while terminals are mostly blunt and clean, giving the forms a solid, contemporary mass. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning with compact counters and sturdy stems, producing strong color on the page and clear silhouettes in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly weighty shapes and simple, stable geometry.
Best suited to display roles where a strong, kinetic presence is desired—headlines, posters, and punchy brand statements. It also fits sports, fitness, and lifestyle applications, as well as packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from bold, slanted emphasis.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary feel driven by the consistent slant and dense weight. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it feel upbeat and confident for attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that reads as fast and dynamic while staying friendly through rounded, geometric forms. It prioritizes strong visual presence and clear shapes in short bursts of text.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to register immediately in text, creating a sense of motion. Spacing appears moderate and designed for impactful setting rather than delicate refinement, and the overall impression remains clean and uncluttered even in dense sample lines.
