A slanted sans with heavy, even stroke weight and clean, uninterrupted contours. Forms are built from rounded bowls and smooth arcs, paired with blunt terminals and broadly cut joins that keep counters open. Uppercase shapes feel compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with simple, utilitarian construction and minimal detailing. Numerals match the same robust build, with wide curves and strong vertical presence that holds up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a strong, slanted presence is desired, such as sports and activewear branding, promotional posters, packaging, and bold UI moments. The sturdy shapes and open counters help it remain legible in prominent sizes and high-contrast applications like signage or social graphics.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, projecting motion and confidence. Its dense color and straightforward geometry give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver impact with a streamlined, contemporary sans structure, using a consistent slant to suggest speed and momentum. Its rounded geometry and blunt finishing aim for clarity and strength, balancing friendliness from soft curves with a confident, performance-driven stance.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified diagonal flow in text. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q emphasize smooth curvature, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y add punch and a slightly condensed, driven feel. The punctuation and symbols shown in the sample contribute to a practical, display-ready personality.
