A heavy, oblique sans with smooth, rounded contours and largely uniform stroke thickness. The construction leans geometric, with circular bowls (O, Q, 0, 8) and clean, trimmed terminals that keep forms crisp. Uppercase shapes are broad and steady, while lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with compact apertures and sturdy joins. The overall rhythm is tight and efficient, with slightly squared counters in places and a firm baseline presence.
Best suited to display applications where a strong, forward-leaning voice is useful—headlines, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics. The solid, rounded letterforms also work well for UI callouts or short labels where immediate clarity and impact matter.
The slanted stance and dense color give the face a fast, assertive tone that reads as active and contemporary. Rounded geometry softens the impact, adding approachability and a consumer-friendly feel rather than a severe or technical mood.
Designed to deliver a bold, motion-oriented impression while remaining clean and friendly. The geometric rounding and simplified forms prioritize quick recognition and a contemporary, brand-ready presence in large sizes.
Figures are robust and highly legible, with simple, modern forms (notably the open, angled 1 and the rounded 0). Curves and diagonals stay consistent across the set, producing an even texture in longer lines of text and a strong silhouette in caps.
