A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and corners tend to be softened rather than sharply chamfered, giving forms a solid, cohesive silhouette. The italic angle reads as a true oblique/italic construction across both caps and lowercase, with clear, open counters and a largely geometric rhythm in bowls and rounds. Numerals are similarly robust and legible, matching the letterforms’ weight and forward-leaning stance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where a bold, forward-leaning voice is desired. It also works well for packaging and promotional graphics that need high contrast against the page through mass and shape rather than stroke modulation.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive while staying approachable, thanks to the rounded shapes and clean, contemporary construction. It feels built for impact and momentum—confident, sporty, and modern rather than formal or delicate.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary display sans that combines geometric clarity with a strong italicized push for dynamism. It prioritizes immediate readability and visual punch, aiming for a modern, energetic tone in marketing and identity contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough for display use, with strong black shapes that hold together well at larger sizes. The slant adds motion and emphasis, making short phrases and headings feel more dynamic than a static upright sans.
