A compact, slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and smoothly rounded curves. The letterforms feel condensed and upright in structure but pushed forward by a consistent oblique angle, creating a strong rightward motion. Counters are relatively tight, terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and the lowercase) are rounded rather than angular. The lowercase is large in proportion to the capitals, with simple, single-storey forms and minimal detailing for a solid, high-impact texture.
This font suits headlines, posters, and display typography where a fast, emphatic voice is needed. It works well for sports and fitness branding, energetic packaging, event promos, and short callouts where the tight, slanted shapes can build a bold, cohesive block of text.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, athletic cadence. Its compact stance and strong weight read as modern and attention-getting, suggesting speed and momentum rather than formality. The friendly roundness keeps it approachable despite the intensity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with a built-in sense of motion. By combining compact proportions, rounded construction, and a consistent slant, it aims to communicate speed and confidence while staying clean and broadly usable for display settings.
The numerals share the same compact, forceful presence as the letters, with rounded shapes and clear silhouettes that match the font’s overall rhythm. In text, the slant and dense spacing create a strong horizontal flow, making short phrases and headlines feel especially dynamic.
