A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many terminals are softly rounded, giving the forms a sturdy, contemporary feel. Counters tend to be compact in letters like a, e, and s, while circular letters (O, Q, 0) read as clean, near-elliptical shapes. The overall rhythm is assertive and slightly compressed internally due to the weight, maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, dynamic oblique voice is needed. It can work well for sports and fitness identities, event graphics, packaging callouts, and other short-to-medium text that benefits from high visual impact.
The tone is energetic and confident, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests motion and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe, balancing punchy impact with a friendly, modern voice.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, modern emphasis with a sense of speed, using geometric construction and rounded detailing to stay approachable. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and display clarity, making it effective for attention-grabbing typography in contemporary visual systems.
Uppercase forms are simple and constructed, with a straightforward E/F/T and a clean G and R that emphasize clarity over ornament. The lowercase set uses a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a contemporary, informal texture. Numerals are bold and open, designed to hold shape and presence in large settings.
