A heavy, right-slanted sans with smooth, rounded curves and a consistent, low-modulation stroke. Forms are compact and sturdy, with broad bowls (C/O/Q) and clean, simplified joins that keep counters open at display sizes. Uppercase shapes read geometric and stable, while lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with straightforward construction and short, efficient terminals. Numerals are robust and clear, with rounded shapes on 0/8/9 and squared-off feet where needed for stability.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, apparel graphics, and packaging where a strong slanted voice helps convey speed and emphasis. It can also work for UI labels or callouts when used sparingly at larger sizes to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, with an athletic, forward-leaning rhythm that suggests motion and urgency. Its weight and slant give it a confident, promotional feel suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, contemporary sans voice with a built-in sense of movement. By pairing simplified geometric construction with a strong slant and dense weight, it aims to maximize immediacy and legibility in display-oriented typography.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create a strong directional flow across lines, and the spacing in the samples stays tight and cohesive, reinforcing a compact, punchy texture. Curves are softened rather than sharp, keeping the voice friendly despite its intensity.
