A slanted sans with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and compact, rounded counters. Curves are built from smooth, near-geometric bowls (notably in C, O, and e), while terminals are cleanly cut, giving the letters a crisp, engineered finish. Proportions lean wide in the capitals and compact in the lowercase, with a prominent x-height and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines dense and even. Numerals follow the same robust, simplified construction, with clear, open shapes and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to display settings where a strong, fast-moving sans is needed: headlines, posters, campaign graphics, packaging, and brand marks. The large x-height and compact extenders also make it workable for short bursts of text (captions, labels, UI callouts) when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a confident, contemporary voice. Its oblique stance and dense rhythm suggest motion and urgency, making it feel sporty and performance-oriented rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that reads cleanly at size while projecting speed and confidence through its oblique construction. It prioritizes consistent geometry and dense vertical rhythm for bold, contemporary messaging.
Round forms stay steady and consistent across the set, while diagonal strokes (as in A, V, W, and y) emphasize the italic momentum. The lowercase g uses a single-storey form with a prominent ear, adding a slightly playful detail within an otherwise utilitarian system.
