A heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Terminals are clean and largely squared-off with subtle rounding, giving the shapes a firm but approachable finish. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves stay consistent from letter to letter, producing an even, punchy texture. Proportions feel compact and efficient, with steady stroke behavior and minimal modulation, while diagonals (in forms like A, K, V, W, X, Y) reinforce the forward-leaning momentum.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, branding, and other display contexts where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desired. It can work for signage and packaging where impact and quick recognition matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, combining a sporty sense of speed with a straightforward, utilitarian confidence. Rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, so it reads as modern and friendly while still projecting strength.
Likely designed to deliver a fast, contemporary sans voice with a sturdy presence and clean geometry. The combination of heavy weight, oblique stance, and rounded construction suggests an emphasis on impact, momentum, and clarity in prominent sizes.
In text, the slant and dense weight create a strong rhythm and prominent word shapes, making it most comfortable at display sizes where spacing and counters can breathe. Numerals match the letters in mass and curvature, supporting cohesive headline and branding use.
