A compact oblique sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded bowls built from smooth, geometric curves. The letterforms lean consistently to the right, with a tight stance and short ascenders/descenders that keep the silhouette dense. Terminals are generally clean and slightly angled, while counters are open enough to stay legible at display sizes despite the strong weight. The numerals match the same sturdy rhythm, with simple, rounded shapes and a forward-leaning emphasis.
Best suited to headline-driven applications where strong texture and forward slant add impact—such as posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing UI labels. It can also work for short bursts of copy or taglines where a compact, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a fast, forward-motion feel created by the consistent slant and compact proportions. It reads as modern and functional rather than delicate, projecting confidence and momentum in headlines.
This design appears intended to deliver a strong, fast, contemporary sans voice with a compact footprint. The consistent oblique angle and geometric, rounded construction prioritize punchy emphasis and clear shapes for display settings.
Round characters like C, O, and G show smooth, continuous curvature and a disciplined geometry, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y feel sharp and sporty. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian construction with minimal detailing, keeping texture bold and uniform across longer lines of text.
