A slanted, heavy sans with smooth, rounded curves and mostly uniform stroke thickness. Counters are open and generously sized for a bold style, while terminals are clean and minimally treated. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” and a compact, slightly condensed rhythm, with a forward-leaning axis that keeps forms tight and directional. Numerals are similarly rounded and sturdy, with clear, simple shapes and consistent weight across curves and diagonals.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where strong emphasis is desired, such as headlines, brand marks, campaign graphics, packaging callouts, and sports or tech-oriented visuals. It can also work for punchy subheads and UI highlights where a bold, energetic tone is needed.
The overall tone feels energetic and modern, with a brisk, forward motion that reads as assertive rather than formal. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, giving it an approachable, contemporary voice suited to fast-paced messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that remains smooth and friendly through rounded construction, while the forward slant adds momentum for attention-grabbing display use.
Diagonal letters (such as A, V, W, X, Y) carry a strong sense of thrust, and the design maintains consistent spacing and weight in both uppercase and lowercase. The italic slant is pronounced enough to read as intentional emphasis, especially in longer lines of text.
