A slanted, geometric sans with rounded bowls and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and clean terminals that keep the silhouettes crisp at display sizes. The proportions feel broadly contemporary: open counters, wide circular forms (notably in O/0), and a compact, purposeful rhythm that reads as forward-leaning without becoming condensed. Numerals match the letterforms with solid, blocky construction and clear shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a bold, slanted sans can convey motion and impact. It will also perform well in sports/fitness and event graphics, as well as short-form UI or signage where quick recognition matters more than delicate typographic nuance.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, in-motion feel created by the consistent italic angle and sturdy weight. It projects modern practicality rather than elegance, leaning toward a confident, utilitarian voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact italic sans with a clean geometric backbone—built to feel fast, strong, and straightforward while keeping counters open for readability.
Round letters maintain a consistent oval logic, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) appear firm and stable, reinforcing a performance-oriented look. The lowercase set stays simple and legible, with a single-storey a and open, uncluttered forms that keep texture even in longer lines.
