A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and broad, open counters. The letterforms lean consistently, with sturdy verticals and slightly tapered joins that keep the shapes from feeling blocky despite the weight. Uppercase forms are clean and geometric (notably the round O/Q and the straightforward E/F), while lowercase uses single-storey a and g with simple, friendly construction. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with a compact, athletic rhythm that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a strong, dynamic sans is needed. It works well for sports and fitness identities, event promotions, packaging callouts, and bold UI accents, especially when set large or with a bit of added tracking for breathing room.
The overall tone feels assertive and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as active and contemporary. Its bold presence suggests performance and momentum rather than delicacy, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that combines geometric clarity with an oblique, motion-forward attitude. It aims for quick recognition and strong presence while keeping forms simple and readable.
Spacing appears fairly tight in the sample text, creating a dense, impactful texture. Round letters maintain clear internal space, helping readability even with the strong weight, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) emphasize speed and direction through their slanted geometry.
