A heavy, forward-leaning sans with smooth, rounded construction and minimal stroke modulation. The forms feel broadly geometric, with generous curves in C/O/Q and sturdy, straight-sided verticals in H/N. Terminals are clean and mostly square-cut, giving the design a crisp edge despite the rounded bowls. Counters stay open and legible, and the overall rhythm is assertive with compact apertures and strong diagonals (A/V/W/Y) that emphasize motion.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, campaign messaging, packaging callouts, and brand marks. It also works well for sports, fitness, and tech-adjacent visuals that benefit from a dynamic, forward-leaning voice.
The slanted stance and strong weight convey speed and determination, reading as contemporary and performance-oriented. It feels straightforward and no-nonsense, with a friendly modern smoothness rather than a technical or formal mood.
The design appears intended to combine high-impact presence with clean, contemporary geometry, using the oblique angle to add motion while preserving simple, readable letterforms. It aims for versatility in modern display typography without relying on decorative details.
Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, keeping the texture simple and contemporary. The q has a clear descending tail, and the numeral set is robust and highly readable at a glance, matching the same angled, athletic tone as the letters.
