A slanted sans with sturdy, even stroke weight and rounded, geometric curves. Letterforms are compact with a low x-height and relatively large capitals, creating a strong cap-led rhythm in mixed text. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with smooth joins and consistent curvature; bowls and counters are open enough to stay clear at display sizes. Numerals follow the same oblique stance and simplified geometry, matching the set’s overall solidity and forward-leaning motion.
Well suited to headlines, brand marks, and short promotional copy where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desirable. It can also work for packaging and editorial callouts, especially where space is limited and a compact, high-impact texture is beneficial.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and assertive, with an athletic, on-the-move feel driven by the consistent slant and bold presence. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than decorative, conveying momentum without losing clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, contemporary sans voice with built-in motion from its oblique stance, balancing geometric simplicity with enough openness for readable display typography.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing cohesive texture in longer lines. The compact lowercase and simplified shapes create a dense typographic color that can feel punchy in headlines and branding, while remaining legible in short blocks of copy.
