A slanted sans with heavy, even stroke weight and softly rounded curves throughout. The design leans geometric, with broad bowls, smooth circular counters, and sturdy verticals that maintain consistent thickness across the alphabet. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while the overall proportions favor generous letterforms and open interiors, creating a strong, high-impact texture in lines of text. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly robust shapes and simple, contemporary construction.
Best suited to attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, sports-oriented graphics, and bold brand statements. It also works well for packaging and promotional materials where a modern, energetic sans can carry short to medium blocks of text with strong presence.
The overall tone feels fast and assertive, with a forward-leaning rhythm that suggests motion and urgency. Its smooth, rounded geometry keeps the voice contemporary and approachable rather than aggressive, making it read as confident and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, motion-forward sans that reads clearly while projecting strength. Its geometric rounding and steady stroke rhythm suggest a goal of versatility for branding and display, with an emphasis on impact and momentum.
The slant is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a clear directional flow in paragraphs. Rounded forms (like C/O/Q and the lowercase bowls) provide visual cohesion, while wide strokes and open counters help retain clarity at display sizes.
