Keywords: headlines, posters, branding, sportswear, signage, dynamic, sporty, assertive, modern, energetic, emphasis, motion, impact, clarity, modernity, oblique, geometric, rounded, sturdy, clean.
A slanted, geometric sans with sturdy strokes and smooth, rounded curves. Letterforms are compact and tightly drawn, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, giving the design a solid, contemporary presence. Counters are open and uncomplicated, and the overall rhythm feels brisk due to the consistent forward lean and firm stroke weight. Numerals follow the same robust, simplified construction for a unified texture across text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where emphasis and momentum are desired, such as posters, branding statements, sports or fitness communications, and attention-grabbing signage. The dense weight and clean shapes also make it effective for callouts, labels, and UI moments that need strong hierarchy.
The forward-leaning stance and heavy, simplified shapes create a sense of motion and urgency. It reads as contemporary and functional, with a confident, no-nonsense tone that suits energetic messaging and bold emphasis.
Designed to deliver a modern, energetic sans voice with a clear sense of forward motion. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouettes and consistent, geometric construction for impact and quick readability.
The italic angle is prominent enough to be a primary stylistic feature rather than a subtle slant. Round letters like O and Q stay smooth and controlled, while diagonals in letters such as A, K, V, W, and X reinforce the punchy, directional feel.
