A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact internal spaces and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid silhouettes and strong color on the page. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while curves (O/C/G/Q and lowercases like a, e, o) stay smooth and full, keeping counters relatively small. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and tightly set, with short extenders and sturdy joins that favor legibility at display sizes.
Best used where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and brand marks that want a fast, athletic feel. It also suits packaging and signage that benefit from dense, readable letterforms at larger sizes. For long passages of text, the heavy stroke and tight interiors are likely to feel tiring compared to a lighter companion face.
The slant and massing create a fast, high-impact tone that feels sporty and confident. Rounded forms soften the aggression slightly, adding a friendly, approachable edge while still reading as bold and insistent. The result is attention-grabbing and contemporary, suited to energetic messaging.
This design appears intended as a display sans that combines geometric roundness with an italicized, forward-driving stance. The emphasis is on bold, immediate readability and a dynamic, contemporary personality, trading delicate detail for strong silhouettes and compact counters.
Capitals are broad and stable, with simple, uncluttered shapes and prominent horizontals in letters like E and F. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic and appear designed for quick recognition in bold settings. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and heavy weight may reduce clarity, but at headline scale it delivers strong presence.
