A slanted, heavy sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, with wide bowls and neatly cut terminals that read as slightly squared-off rather than tapered. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with clear counters and a consistent rhythm that keeps letterforms stable even at steep angles. Figures are equally solid and open, matching the letterforms’ broad curves and firm verticals.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and campaign graphics where the slant can amplify momentum. It can also perform well in short UI labels or signage when set with comfortable spacing, especially for energetic, performance-driven themes.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, conveying motion and urgency without becoming decorative. Its weight and tight, controlled shapes give it a confident, no-nonsense presence that feels modern and performance-oriented.
Likely designed to deliver a fast, modern voice: a solid, geometric sans whose strong oblique stance adds movement while keeping forms simple and highly legible at large sizes.
The oblique angle is pronounced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a strong directional flow in words. Round letters (like O/C) stay very smooth, while corners and joins remain crisp, contributing to a clean, engineered feel.
