A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded construction and firm, compact proportions. Curves are broad and even, while terminals read clean and blunt, giving the forms a sturdy, simplified look. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a forward-leaning rhythm that stays cohesive in longer text. Counters remain open at this weight, and the overall drawing favors clear, geometric silhouettes over intricate detail.
Best used for short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where a bold, kinetic voice is beneficial. It can also work for large-scale UI or signage callouts when a strong italic emphasis is needed, though its weight and slant make it less suitable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a strong forward motion that feels athletic and contemporary. Its weight and slant project confidence and urgency, making it well suited to messaging that needs to feel active and high-impact rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, modern outline and a consistent italic drive. Its rounded geometry and simplified details prioritize quick recognition and a cohesive, high-energy texture in display typography.
Uppercase shapes feel stable and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps a utilitarian, modern texture with straightforward joins and minimal modulation. Numerals are robust and highly visible, matching the same simplified, rounded logic as the letters.
