A forward-leaning sans with sturdy strokes and smooth, rounded geometry. The letterforms favor elliptical bowls and simple, closed counters, with gently softened joins and terminals that keep the silhouette clean rather than sharp. Spacing reads compact and purposeful, and the set maintains consistent curve logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals for a cohesive, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display sizes where the slanted stance and compact rhythm can read as intentional momentum—headlines, posters, and brand marks in active or tech-adjacent contexts. It can also work for packaging callouts and short UI labels where a strong, energetic tone is desired, though dense paragraphs may feel heavy due to the strong slant and weight.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary feel. The slant and solid weight give it a sense of motion and confidence, making it feel more expressive than neutral while still staying clean and controlled.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-visibility sans with built-in motion, balancing geometric roundness with a firm, compact presence. The consistent construction suggests an emphasis on clarity and impact in branding and display settings rather than a purely neutral text voice.
Uppercase shapes are broad and stable with generous interior space, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable and avoid decorative details. Numerals match the same rounded construction, producing a unified voice for branding, headlines, and short informational text.
