A slanted sans with heavy, compact letterforms and smooth, rounded corners. Strokes stay largely uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact silhouettes. Curves are broad and geometric (notably in C/O/S), while joins and terminals are clean and blunt. Proportions are slightly condensed with tight internal counters, and the overall rhythm is consistent and forward-leaning across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact and motion matter—headlines, posters, brand marks, sports and fitness graphics, and attention-grabbing signage. It also works for punchy subheads or callouts where a dense, forward-leaning texture helps guide the eye.
The overall tone feels fast, energetic, and purposeful, with a contemporary, performance-oriented character. Its strong mass and italic angle create a sense of motion and urgency that reads as sporty and confident rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-energy sans for display use, combining compact geometry with a strong slant to emphasize speed and momentum while keeping forms straightforward and highly legible at larger sizes.
Capitals are sturdy and wide-shouldered with rounded bowls (B/P/R) and a clean, geometric Q. Lowercase forms lean toward single-story construction where expected (a, g), with a compact, utilitarian feel and short extenders. Numerals are similarly blocky and stable, matching the heavy texture of the alphabet in continuous text.
