A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and rounded, geometric construction. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with smooth curves and clean joins that keep counters open despite the weight. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating forward motion and a tight, cohesive rhythm. Letterforms show simplified, contemporary shapes—round bowls, sturdy diagonals, and squared-off terminals—while maintaining clear differentiation between similar characters.
Best suited to display roles where impact and momentum are desired, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and promotional graphics. It can also work for short bursts of UI or editorial emphasis (pull quotes, subheads) where a strong italic voice is needed without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. Its strong presence reads as confident and energetic rather than delicate, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact italic voice that stays clean and geometric. It prioritizes strong silhouette, consistent slant, and bold readability for attention-grabbing typography in contemporary visual systems.
Capitals are broad and stable with prominent curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), and diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y feel purposeful and athletic. Lowercase forms are compact with generous weight, and numerals are sturdy and slanted to match the text color, reinforcing a consistent italic texture in running copy.
