A heavy, right-slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and largely uniform stroke weight. The forms lean on geometric curves with broad counters and softened corners, giving letters a sturdy, aerodynamic feel. Uppercase shapes are clean and blocky with minimal modulation, while lowercase is simple and functional, with single-storey structures where visible and compact joins that keep texture dense. Numerals are full and stable, matching the letter weight and maintaining clear silhouettes in the slant.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display copy where its slanted, weighty forms can convey urgency and impact. It can work well in branding and packaging that aims for a modern, athletic voice, and for signage or digital UI moments that need bold emphasis at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, projecting speed and momentum through its consistent oblique angle and sturdy mass. It reads as contemporary and performance-oriented, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry rather than sharp industrial severity.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, fast-moving sans voice by combining a pronounced oblique stance with rounded, geometric letterforms. It prioritizes strong presence and clear silhouettes, aiming for confident display performance and a cohesive, energetic texture in running text at larger sizes.
The italic angle is steady across the set, producing a strong directional rhythm in lines of text. Curves and terminals stay clean and uncluttered, and the heavier weight creates a solid color suitable for attention-grabbing settings rather than delicate typographic nuance.
