A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth curves paired with flat, clean terminals. Proportions feel slightly extended and open, with broad bowls and clear counters that keep the weight from clogging at display sizes. Stroke contrast is minimal and the overall rhythm is steady, with consistent curvature across round letters and straightforward, engineered diagonals in forms like A, K, V, W, and X. Figures are robust and simple, with a clear, contemporary lining style suited to large settings.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, brand marks, and campaign typography where a strong, slanted voice is desirable. It also fits sports and automotive-style graphics, product packaging, and large-format wayfinding or signage where bold shapes and clear counters support quick recognition.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, projecting speed and decisiveness. Its sturdy shapes and tight, modern detailing give it a sporty, technical feel that reads as assertive and contemporary rather than decorative.
This design appears intended to deliver a fast, contemporary sans presence with a strong forward slant and dependable readability at display sizes. The consistent geometry and low-contrast strokes suggest a focus on clean reproduction and a modern, performance-oriented aesthetic.
The italics are built as true oblique forms with a consistent slant across caps, lowercase, and numerals, maintaining even color in blocks of text. Rounded joins and softened corners help preserve legibility in dense, bold settings while keeping the design cohesive across the character set shown.
