A heavy, extended sans with a consistent oblique slant and broad, streamlined forms. Curves are smooth and elliptical (notably in O/C/G), while terminals are mostly squared or subtly angled, giving the outlines a clean, engineered finish. Counters are generous for the weight, and spacing feels open, producing a wide, stable texture in text. The design leans geometric overall, with rounded bowls paired with crisp joins and angled strokes that emphasize forward motion.
Best suited to large-scale settings where width and slant can work as an expressive feature—headlines, posters, identity wordmarks, packaging, and signage. The open counters and clean geometry also support short bursts of text such as pull quotes, UI hero titles, or product naming, especially when a dynamic, forward-leaning tone is desired.
The combination of wide proportions and slanted construction projects speed and confidence, reading as contemporary and performance-oriented. It feels at home in contexts that want a modern, no-nonsense voice with a slightly futuristic edge rather than a neutral corporate tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, contemporary voice by combining extended proportions with an oblique stance and simplified geometric construction. It prioritizes impact and motion cues while keeping shapes clean and legible at display sizes.
Capitals are particularly expansive, with simple, high-impact silhouettes and minimal detailing. The numerals follow the same extended, slanted logic, with smooth curves and firm horizontals that keep figures visually strong in display use.
