A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and broad, even strokes. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C/O/Q and numerals), while terminals are clean and blunt, giving a solid, poster-like color on the page. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and proportions feel compact with generous counters that keep forms open at size. Spacing reads steady and functional, with a strong rhythm that favors impact over delicacy.
This style is well suited to headlines, posters, and branding systems that need immediate impact and a sense of motion. It can also work effectively for packaging and signage where bold, high-contrast reproduction is expected and quick readability matters.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, projecting a sporty, contemporary confidence. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended as an assertive, modern workhorse for display typography—combining a consistent oblique angle with rounded geometric forms to create a fast, energetic voice that remains clear and friendly.
The numerals are sturdy and highly legible with simple, geometric silhouettes, and the uppercase set presents a clean, uniform presence suitable for prominent display. The lowercase follows the same rounded logic, maintaining a cohesive texture in longer lines of text.
