A broad, oblique sans with a streamlined, geometric construction and rounded curves. Strokes are even and sturdy, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, producing a clean, modern texture. Counters are generally open and generous, and the overall proportions feel expanded horizontally, giving the alphabet a fast, panoramic stance. The lowercase shows simple, contemporary forms with single‑storey a and g, while the figures are wide and stable, matching the font’s extended rhythm.
This font suits headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where width and slant can project energy and presence. It works well for branding in sport, automotive, and tech contexts, and can be effective in UI or signage where a contemporary, forward-leaning voice is desired.
The slanted, wide silhouette and smooth geometry create a sense of motion and efficiency, reading as contemporary and slightly futuristic. It conveys an assertive, sporty tone that feels designed for speed, clarity, and high visual impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, fast-moving sans voice by combining expanded proportions with a consistent oblique angle and smooth geometric curves. It prioritizes a modern, engineered feel and strong legibility in large sizes.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, with consistent letterfit across the sample text. The oblique angle is steady and uniform, and the round forms (notably in O/C/e) reinforce a cohesive, engineered look.
