A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and low-contrast strokes. Letterforms lean forward with a consistent slant and rounded outer geometry, while terminals are clean and mostly blunt, giving a crisp silhouette. Curves are generous and smooth (notably in C/O/Q and lowercase bowls), and joins stay sturdy, producing a dense, even texture in text. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and numerals follow the same bold, rounded construction with simple, readable shapes.
Well-suited to headlines, branding, and short bursts of copy where a bold, slanted voice adds momentum. It should perform especially well in posters, packaging, and signage that benefit from high visual impact and clear, rounded letterforms.
The overall tone is dynamic and assertive, with a forward-leaning posture that feels active and modern. Its rounded geometry keeps the boldness approachable, balancing impact with a friendly, contemporary presence.
The design appears intended to deliver strong emphasis with an energetic, forward-leaning stance while preserving smooth, geometric clarity. Its construction prioritizes punchy readability and a cohesive, modern rhythm across letters and figures.
The uppercase set reads compact and strong, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear, simple forms (single-storey a and g). The Q uses a distinct diagonal tail that reinforces the slanted motion, and the overall spacing appears tuned for solid word shapes at display-to-text sizes.
