A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and broadly squared terminals. Letterforms lean forward with a consistent slant and sturdy, even stroke color, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. Counters are open and largely circular/oval in characters like O, C, and 0, while diagonals (N, V, W, X) feel strong and stable. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the letters in weight and tilt for a uniform rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where strong emphasis and quick readability are priorities—headlines, posters, and promotional graphics. The sturdy forms and pronounced slant also fit sports and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and large-scale digital ads where impact matters more than long-form comfort.
The forward slant and solid mass give the font a fast, assertive tone that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented. It feels confident and attention-seeking, with a no-nonsense voice suited to messaging that needs to hit quickly and clearly.
Designed to deliver a forceful, forward-moving presence with clean, rounded construction and consistent weight, emphasizing immediacy and clarity at larger sizes. The italic stance appears intended as a default voice, giving even straightforward copy a sense of motion and urgency.
The overall set balances rounded bowls with crisp diagonals, creating a mix of friendliness and drive. The bold italics produce strong word shapes and pronounced emphasis, especially in all-caps and short phrases.
