A slanted sans with robust, even stroke weight and smoothly rounded bowls. The forms lean consistently forward with crisp, straight terminals and minimal modulation, creating a steady, uniform color in text. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while curves stay clean and controlled; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel firm and geometric. Overall proportions read moderately compact, with a utilitarian rhythm suited to bold setting sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where a strong, energetic presence is desired: headlines, posters, brand marks, and product packaging. It can also work for UI callouts or labels when a compact, emphatic italic voice is needed, though its weight and slant make it more impactful than neutral for extended reading.
The forward slant and sturdy construction give the face a fast, assertive tone. It feels contemporary and practical rather than decorative—more about momentum and clarity than elegance.
The design appears intended to provide a forceful italic sans that maintains clarity and consistency at larger sizes. Its simplified shapes and uniform stroke treatment prioritize punchy readability and a cohesive, contemporary texture across letters and figures.
The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a simplified, contemporary feel. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the same italic angle and rounded geometry as the letters for consistent texture across mixed content.
