A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, softly modulated contours and largely monolinear strokes. Capitals are broad and sturdy with simple, open constructions, while the lowercase leans more calligraphic in rhythm—single-storey a and g, a curved r, and looped, flowing joins that keep counters open despite the dense weight. Terminals tend to be blunt or gently tapered, and the overall texture is dark and even, producing a compact, energetic line in text. Numerals match the same slanted, rounded geometry, with closed forms (8, 9) and sturdy straights (1, 7) that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, logos, and packaging where a bold, energetic voice is needed. It can work for promotional copy or subheads, but the dark color and lively rhythm make it most effective at medium-to-large sizes rather than long, quiet reading.
The slant and substantial weight give the face a fast, athletic feel, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as contemporary and informal, with a confident, headline-forward tone that suggests motion and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, motion-driven sans voice—combining sturdy, simple letterforms with a consistent slant and rounded finish to feel fast, friendly, and highly visible.
Spacing appears tuned for compact word shapes, creating a tight, punchy rhythm in paragraphs. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain cohesion in mixed-case settings.
