A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely uniform stroke weight. Forms lean forward with a consistent slant, combining geometric bowls with slightly squared-off terminals and tight, efficient spacing. Uppercase shapes are clean and compact, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation through open counters and sturdy joins; numerals are similarly sturdy and streamlined, with simple, legible silhouettes.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its weight and slant can provide emphasis—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and brand marks. It also fits sports, automotive, and tech-flavored design systems, and can work for punchy subheads or UI callouts where a strong italic voice is needed.
The overall tone is dynamic and assertive, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests speed and momentum. Its clean geometry keeps the voice modern and utilitarian, while the weight adds confidence and impact for attention-driven typography.
Designed to deliver a strong italic sans voice with high immediacy, pairing geometric clarity with a compact, forward-leaning rhythm. The intent appears to prioritize impact and readability in branding and display contexts while retaining a clean, contemporary structure.
Round letters like O/C/G show controlled, near-elliptical curves, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and stable despite the slant. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, and the dot on i/j is compact and unobtrusive, supporting a pragmatic, contemporary rhythm.
