A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and mostly uniform stroke thickness. Proportions run broad and stable, with generous internal counters and clean, open apertures that keep forms legible despite the strong weight. Terminals are blunt and modern rather than calligraphic, and the overall construction leans geometric—circular bowls, straightforward joins, and crisp diagonals. Numerals are sturdy and prominent, matching the letters’ thick, simplified rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its strong weight and slanted rhythm can drive emphasis. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a modern, energetic voice, and for bold UI or splash components where quick recognition matters.
The face communicates speed and impact, with an athletic, forward-leaning stance. Its dense color and broad silhouettes feel confident and contemporary, suited to messaging that should read as direct, high-energy, and no-nonsense.
Likely designed as an impactful, modern oblique sans that prioritizes strong presence and fast readability. The consistent geometry and simplified terminals suggest an intention to feel contemporary and functional while still projecting motion and confidence.
The oblique slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified sense of motion. Round letters like O/C/G show smooth curvature and even pressure, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Z) feel sharp and decisive, reinforcing a bold, engineered tone.
