A heavy, right-leaning sans with clean, monoline strokes and broadly rounded curves. The letterforms favor geometric construction with smooth bowls and softened terminals, while diagonals and angled joins create a brisk, forward rhythm. Uppercase shapes are compact and sturdy, with generous counters in letters like O, D, and P; lowercase forms stay simple and legible, with single-storey a and g and rounded, open apertures. Figures are bold and uncomplicated, with curved, open shapes that keep them readable at display sizes.
Best suited to display work where impact and motion matter—headlines, posters, product packaging, and energetic branding. It can also work for short UI or editorial callouts where a bold, friendly emphasis is needed, though the strong slant suggests using it primarily for larger sizes and limited amounts of text.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, combining a sporty forward slant with approachable roundness. It reads as contemporary and confident rather than formal, giving headlines a sense of motion and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern sans voice with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the compact, weighty forms emphasize clarity and punch for attention-grabbing typography.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, fast-paced texture in text. Round letters maintain smooth curves, while flat cuts and angled strokes in characters like A, K, N, V, and W add punch and visual tension.
