This typeface is a heavy, oblique sans with rounded, geometric construction and very uniform stroke weight. Letterforms show broad proportions, open apertures, and generous interior counters that keep the color from clogging at display sizes. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C/G/O/Q), while diagonals in A/K/V/W/X/Y are steep and decisive, reinforcing the forward slant. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with a compact, robust feel and consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where impact and quick recognition matter—posters, branding systems, packaging, and promotional graphics. The heavy weight and oblique stance also make it effective for sports, tech, and lifestyle applications that benefit from a sense of motion.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as energetic and performance-oriented. Its weight and width give it an assertive voice, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, modern sans for display use, balancing geometric roundness with a strong oblique slant to create speed and emphasis. Its uniform strokes and open counters suggest an aim for bold visibility and dependable legibility in large-scale typography.
The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and compact joins that emphasize clarity over calligraphic detail. Numerals are sturdy and legible, with wide shapes and strong curves that match the letters’ geometric logic.
