A heavy, oblique sans with monoline strokes and rounded, geometric construction. Curves are broad and smooth, terminals are clean and largely sheared by the slant, and counters stay open but compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Proportions lean slightly wide in key round letters, while straight-sided forms keep a crisp, engineered rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and contemporary, matching the same forward-leaning momentum and even stroke behavior.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and branding where a bold, forward-leaning voice is desired. It can work well for sports or tech-oriented identities, campaign posters, and UI moments that need emphasis (labels, buttons, key metrics), where its compact counters and strong rhythm keep words visually unified.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive, making it read as modern and confident with a sporty edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans with built-in motion and strong presence, combining a pronounced slant with smooth rounded forms for clarity and energy in display-driven typography.
The oblique angle is consistent across the set and strongly shapes the word image, especially in diagonals and joins. Round letters (like O/C/G) feel particularly smooth and stable, while tight apertures and compact counters help maintain punch at display sizes.
