A heavy oblique sans with broad proportions and rounded, smoothly modeled curves. Strokes are thick and even, with soft terminals and gently sheared geometry that keeps counters open despite the mass. The shapes favor simple, circular construction in letters like O/C and a clean, engineered feel in straight-sided forms, with consistent rhythm and spacing that reads best at display sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and straightforward, matching the italic slant and the wide, stable footprint of the uppercase.
Best suited for impactful headlines, posters, and brand marks where weight and slant can carry a strong voice. It also fits sporty or tech-forward identities, packaging, and short callouts where a bold, dynamic sans is needed.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while staying approachable thanks to the rounded forms and smooth curves. Its forward slant adds motion and urgency, giving it a sporty, headline-ready character rather than a formal or delicate one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while preserving legibility through open counters and rounded construction. It prioritizes a modern, energetic voice that feels sturdy and approachable for contemporary display typography.
The lowercase shows a single-storey style for a and g, reinforcing a contemporary, uncomplicated look. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across letters and figures, and the thick joins and generous bowls help maintain clarity in dense words and all-caps settings.
