A sturdy oblique sans with thick, even stroke weight and smoothly rounded curves. Letterforms are built from clear geometric shapes with open counters and a slightly compact, forward-leaning stance. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with consistent joins and a steady rhythm that keeps text blocks cohesive while still feeling lively. Numerals follow the same solid construction, with simple, legible forms and minimal ornamentation.
Works especially well for headlines, posters, and branding systems that need impact and motion, such as sports, fitness, or tech-forward communications. It also suits packaging and promotional materials where compact, high-contrast-on-page letterforms help maintain clarity at a distance.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with the slant adding a sense of speed and momentum. It reads as contemporary and practical rather than decorative, projecting a confident, action-oriented voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic sans voice with strong presence, using an oblique stance and geometric construction to emphasize speed and decisiveness while preserving straightforward readability.
The forward slant is pronounced enough to feel intentional at display sizes, while the simple geometry and open shapes keep it readable in short passages. The design balances roundness with crisp diagonals, giving it a clean, punchy texture in headlines and strong typographic locks.
