A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and mostly uniform stroke thickness. The letterforms lean forward with a steady rhythm, pairing broad bowls and counters with clean, simplified joins. Terminals are generally softened rather than sharply cut, helping the shapes feel cohesive at display sizes. Uppercase forms read compact and sturdy, while lowercase maintains clear silhouettes with single-storey construction where expected and generous apertures that keep forms open.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, kinetic voice is needed. It can work well on packaging and promotional graphics, especially when set large and given room to breathe. For longer text, it’s more likely to be used for emphasis, callouts, or short bursts rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is energetic and approachable, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, while the strong weight gives it a confident, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, energetic sans with strong presence and easy recognizability. Its rounded construction and consistent oblique angle aim for a balance of friendliness and impact, prioritizing clear shapes and a lively rhythm in display settings.
Numbers are similarly compact and sturdy, matching the overall roundness and maintaining clear differentiation between forms. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and spacing appears tuned for punchy setting in short lines and impactful phrases.
