A heavy, forward-slanted sans with clean, mostly geometric construction and rounded joins. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings. Curves are broad and smooth (notably in C, O, S, and numerals), while terminals are generally squared-off with softened corners. Proportions feel compact and efficient, with sturdy verticals and generous counters that keep shapes open despite the weight.
Best suited to display typography where impact and speed matter: headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and bold brand statements. It also works well for sports or tech-adjacent identities, packaging callouts, and short UI labels where a strong italic emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, with the italic slant adding momentum and a sense of action. Its rounded geometry softens the severity of the weight, creating a friendly, contemporary voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging without feeling aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with built-in motion from the slant, balancing strong weight and clarity with approachable rounded forms. The emphasis appears to be on high visibility and energetic personality in larger sizes.
The uppercase set reads stable and sign-like, while the lowercase introduces a more informal rhythm, especially in rounded forms like a, e, and s. Numerals are robust and highly legible at display sizes, with smooth circular forms and simple, direct construction.
