A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, creating solid black shapes with minimal modulation, while counters are open and clean for legibility at larger sizes. The letterforms are broad and stable with softly rounded corners, and the oblique slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing reads even and sturdy, giving the design a dense, high-coverage texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where weight and slant can carry emphasis—headlines, short bursts of copy, branding marks, and promotional graphics. It can also work for bold UI accents or editorial callouts, though its dense color is most effective when given room to breathe.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a contemporary, performance-minded feel with approachable rounded forms. Its strong presence and steady slant suggest motion and momentum, making the voice feel active rather than formal.
The font appears designed to deliver strong, contemporary impact with a sense of movement, pairing geometric roundness with a disciplined oblique angle for energetic emphasis. It prioritizes bold presence and clear silhouettes for attention-grabbing typography.
Lowercase forms emphasize simplicity and clarity with single-storey-style shapes where visible (notably the a and g), and the figures appear similarly robust and streamlined. The design keeps a consistent rhythm from straight strokes to curves, avoiding sharp terminals in favor of smoother joins.
