A heavy, oblique sans with expanded proportions and a broad stance. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded joins and smoothly curved bowls that give the letters a clean, aerodynamic silhouette. Counters are open and generous, terminals are mostly blunt, and diagonals feel crisp and forward-leaning, producing a steady, high-impact rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium text in large sizes where impact and motion are desirable—sports identities, product branding, promotional headlines, posters, and bold packaging systems. It can also work for UI or signage accents when a strong, modern emphasis is needed, though its width and slant make it less ideal for dense body copy.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and assertive, with a sporty, engineered feel. Its slanted posture and wide set read as energetic and contemporary rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy, modern sans voice that emphasizes speed and presence. Its wide geometry and consistent stroke weight suggest a focus on legibility at display sizes while projecting a streamlined, performance-oriented character.
Numerals follow the same forward-leaning, wide construction, maintaining strong presence at display sizes. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, sans structure with rounded forms and clear apertures, supporting quick recognition while preserving the font’s distinctly expansive footprint.
