A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smoothly curving bowls. Strokes are broadly consistent with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. Proportions feel expanded with generous counters and open apertures; curves (C, G, S, O) read as near-elliptical and steady, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) are robust and evenly weighted. The lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey a and g, a compact e with a broad aperture, and a straightforward, upright dot treatment on i/j that sits clearly above the stem.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of copy, and identity work where impact and clarity are priorities. It performs well in posters, packaging, wayfinding-style signage, and sporty or tech-leaning brand systems, especially when set large where the rounded counters and oblique rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum from the italic slant. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe, creating a confident but friendly voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with energetic slant and rounded geometry, balancing bold presence with approachable, clean forms for contemporary display typography.
Numbers are sturdy and highly legible with large interior spaces (notably 8) and simplified, modern forms (open 4, rounded 2/3, strong 7). Spacing in the samples appears comfortable at display sizes, and the consistent weight gives words a solid, unified silhouette.
