A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are broad and clean, with open counters and generous spacing that keeps shapes readable despite the strong slant. Terminals are largely blunt or softly rounded, and many letters show subtle ink-trap-like notches at tight joins (visible in forms like the uppercases and the lowercase r), giving a slightly engineered, display-minded finish. Numerals are sturdy and streamlined, matching the same forward-leaning rhythm and wide stance.
Well-suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, and campaign graphics where the strong oblique stance can drive momentum. It also fits modern branding and packaging, especially in athletic, tech, or lifestyle contexts that benefit from bold, rounded geometry.
The overall tone is fast and upbeat, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. Its slanted, weighty shapes read as confident and assertive, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact sans that combines speed cues (oblique angle and wide stance) with friendly geometry (rounded forms and open counters). The subtle join shaping suggests an emphasis on clean reproduction at larger sizes and a distinctive, engineered personality.
The slant is consistent across cases and figures, creating a strong left-to-right motion. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) feel especially circular and stable, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) form crisp, high-energy silhouettes that suit attention-grabbing settings.
