This typeface is a slanted sans with sturdy, even stroke thickness and rounded curve construction. Letterforms lean forward with a consistent oblique angle, combining broad circular bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals) with crisp, straight terminals and simplified joins. Counters are open and relatively generous for the weight, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel taut and energetic. The overall rhythm is compact and solid, with smooth, geometric curvature and minimal stroke modulation.
It works best for short to medium-length settings where impact and motion are desirable, such as headlines, brand marks, campaigns, and energetic editorial callouts. The clear numeral set also suits uses that mix text and figures, including packaging claims, event graphics, and promotional materials.
The forward slant and dense weight give the font an energetic, assertive tone that still reads approachable due to its rounded geometry. It suggests speed and momentum without becoming aggressive, making it feel contemporary and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with a built-in sense of movement. Its geometric rounding and restrained detailing prioritize clarity and consistency while the oblique stance adds emphasis and visual drive.
Uppercase forms appear slightly wide and stable with clean, unadorned construction, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, contemporary sans structure. Numerals are large and clear, with round, prominent shapes that match the alphabet’s geometric bowls, supporting strong visual consistency across text and figures.
