A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smoothly rounded curves. Strokes are uniform with low contrast, and many terminals end in soft, slightly sheared cuts that reinforce the forward slant. Uppercase forms are sturdy and open, with generous bowls and wide apertures; lowercase maintains a clear rhythm with a single-storey “a” and “g,” round dots, and compact, dark joins in letters like “m” and “n.” Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, producing an even, dense color in text.
Well-suited for bold headlines, poster copy, brand marks, and packaging where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It also fits sports and action-oriented graphics, as well as short UI or marketing callouts that benefit from high-impact, slanted emphasis.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, with a forward-leaning momentum that feels active and assertive. Rounded shapes keep it approachable, while the weight and width project confidence and impact suitable for attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that combines a strong, wide stance with an italicized, forward-driving gesture. The rounded geometry and open forms suggest an emphasis on approachable clarity while maintaining assertive display presence.
Counters stay open in many glyphs, helping readability despite the heavy stroke weight. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the spacing appears tuned for bold display lines where a strong silhouette and steady rhythm are prioritized.
