A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, geometric curves and broad, even strokes. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with rounded bowls and a consistent, monoline feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, while diagonals and joins show crisp, engineered angles that keep the shapes tight and compact. The overall rhythm is assertive and forward-leaning, with sturdy uppercase forms and simplified lowercase construction.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact is the priority—headlines, poster graphics, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event promotions. It can also work for short UI or social headlines where a strong, italic emphasis is desired, but the weight favors display use over long text.
The slanted stance and dense black presence create a sense of speed and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps the tone approachable rather than harsh, balancing strength with friendliness. The result feels contemporary and performance-oriented, suited to bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning voice. The geometric, rounded construction suggests a goal of modern clarity and robust legibility while maintaining an upbeat, sporty personality.
Round letters like O/C/G read especially smooth and circular, while angular letters (K, V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize sharp diagonals that reinforce the energetic tilt. Numerals are heavy and highly legible, designed to stand out at a glance.
