A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, smooth curves and broadly cut terminals. The forms feel sturdy and compact, with generous counters that keep the weight from clogging at display sizes. Many joins and tight interiors show subtle corner carving (an ink-trap-like notching), helping maintain clarity in dense areas. Uppercase proportions are wide and stable, while the lowercase has a straightforward, contemporary build with single-storey shapes and a strong forward slant.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, and short marketing statements where the weight and slant can drive emphasis. It also fits sporty or energetic branding, packaging callouts, and signage that needs quick recognition at a glance.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic: bold strokes paired with an oblique angle create a sense of motion and urgency. Its rounded construction keeps the voice friendly rather than aggressive, landing in a modern, sporty register that reads as confident and attention-seeking.
This design appears intended as a bold, modern oblique for attention-first typography, combining geometric roundness with a forward slant to communicate speed and confidence. The carved interior corners suggest a practical aim toward maintaining legibility in tightly packed, heavy forms.
Numerals and caps share the same robust, rounded construction, giving headlines a consistent blocky rhythm. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S are smooth and geometric, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel taut and deliberate, reinforcing the forward-leaning momentum.
