A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes stay largely even with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and smoothly finished, giving curves a solid, inflated feel. The italics are achieved with a consistent slant and gently sheared forms rather than calligraphic modulation, keeping counters open and shapes stable at display sizes. Overall spacing reads moderately tight, reinforcing a dense, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and promotional graphics where strong color and forward motion help carry the message. It can work for packaging and social media graphics, especially when set large or with generous line spacing to prevent the dense weight from feeling crowded.
The tone is assertive and fast-moving, with a modern, athletic edge. Its slanted stance and blocky curves suggest momentum and confidence while still feeling approachable rather than rigid or technical.
Designed to deliver high impact with a clean, contemporary silhouette, combining geometric roundness with an oblique angle to communicate speed and emphasis without resorting to decorative details.
Round letters like O/C/G show broad, smooth bowls, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) feel sturdy and emphatic under the slant. Numerals are similarly weighty and simplified, matching the letters for a cohesive, impact-forward texture in headlines and short phrases.
