A slanted, geometric sans with smooth, rounded bowls and clean terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and a steady rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. Counters stay fairly open for a heavy style, while curves (notably in C, O, S, and e) read circular and controlled. The lowercase shows single‑storey a and g, a compact, rounded e, and generally tight, efficient shapes; figures are similarly rounded with simple, sturdy construction.
Best suited to short-form, high-visibility typography such as headlines, brand marks, poster copy, sports or event graphics, and packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where its slant and weight add emphasis without needing decorative detail.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, with a contemporary, no-nonsense feel. Its weight and slant convey momentum and assertiveness, making it feel sporty and promotional while still staying tidy and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic voice using a geometric base and an oblique stance, prioritizing impact and clarity over nuance. It aims for a versatile display workhorse that feels contemporary and action-oriented.
Uppercase forms feel slightly squared-off in their joins, while rounded letters keep a consistent circular logic. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear strong and stable, and the numeral set leans toward simple, high-impact silhouettes suited to quick scanning.
