A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely monoline construction. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, with circular/elliptical bowls in letters like O, C, and G and steady, clean joins throughout. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving the design forward motion while keeping letterforms stable. Terminals are mostly blunt or softly rounded, and the overall rhythm is compact and even, with sturdy stems and clear internal spacing in both the grid and paragraph samples.
Best suited to display work where impact and momentum are desirable, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short UI or signage phrases when a strong, slanted emphasis is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded forms and open counters read cleanly.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, combining a contemporary, geometric clarity with a slightly sporty attitude. Its strong presence and consistent slant make it feel active and attention-forward rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans voice that remains approachable through rounded geometry. It prioritizes visual punch, consistent rhythm, and quick recognition for prominent messaging and brand-forward typography.
The numeral set matches the letters in weight and slant, producing a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. The font maintains a clean silhouette at larger sizes, and the rounded construction helps keep dense text from feeling overly sharp or technical.
