A heavy, slanted sans with a clean geometric build and smooth, rounded bowls. Strokes are sturdy and largely uniform, with gently softened corners and broad curves that keep counters open. Proportions skew horizontally, giving letters a substantial footprint and a steady rhythm, while diagonals and terminals maintain crisp cuts that reinforce the forward-leaning motion. The overall texture is dark and even, favoring solid silhouettes and clear interior space over fine detail.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where strong presence and quick readability are priorities, such as headlines, brand marks, campaign graphics, packaging, and promotional layouts. It can also work for UI labels or signage when a bold, forward-leaning emphasis is desired.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, with an energetic forward drive from the consistent slant. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, while the dense color and broad forms convey confidence and impact.
Likely drawn to provide a high-impact italic voice that stays clean and contemporary, combining geometric simplicity with substantial weight for attention-grabbing typography. The design prioritizes legibility at large sizes while projecting speed and confidence through its consistent slant and broad proportions.
Uppercase forms read as compact and powerful, while lowercase maintains clarity through simple, single-storey shapes and generous apertures. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the same rounded, no-nonsense construction as the letters.
