A heavy, oblique sans with broad, rounded geometry and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and smooth with subtly tapered joins and sheared terminals that reinforce motion. Counters are relatively compact in rounded letters, while the overall letterforms remain wide and stable, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm. Numerals and lowercase share the same muscular build, with a single-storey “a” and a double-storey “g” that keep the texture firmly contemporary.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as sports identities, promotional headlines, posters, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work for punchy packaging callouts or social graphics where the oblique emphasis helps lead the eye and create momentum.
The tone is forceful and fast, with a distinctly athletic, “in-motion” feel. Its slant and mass convey urgency and confidence, reading like branding built for speed, impact, and visibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-driving posture, combining rounded, geometric construction with angled finishing to suggest speed. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive, energetic texture in display settings.
The design favors broad curves over sharp corners, giving it a friendly but powerful presence. Diagonal-heavy forms (like K, V, W, X, Y, and Z) read particularly energetic due to the consistent oblique construction and angled stroke endings, while round letters maintain a solid, pressurized silhouette.
