A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even color in text. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, Q, and lowercases like a, e, o), while terminals are clean and largely straight, giving a crisp but approachable finish. Counters are open and legible at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with a forward-leaning stance and sturdy letterforms that hold their shape in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short-form messaging where impact and motion are priorities. It performs well in posters, advertising, and packaging-style applications, and can add an energetic voice to UI accents or labels when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The style reads as energetic and assertive, with a contemporary, performance-oriented tone. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly and accessible, while the strong weight and slant add urgency and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, kinetic sans for attention-grabbing typography, combining broad, sturdy forms with a pronounced slant for momentum while keeping shapes rounded for approachability.
The numerals match the bold, slanted construction and feel suited to headlines and callouts. The design maintains a consistent geometric logic across uppercase and lowercase, emphasizing smooth bowls and stable, high-impact silhouettes.
