A heavy, slanted sans with broad, rounded curves and solid, low-contrast strokes. Forms lean forward with a consistent italic angle, pairing geometric bowls (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9) with crisply cut terminals and occasional wedge-like joins that add snap to the silhouettes. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while apertures and notches (as in S, G, and a) keep the rhythm lively. Lowercase is single-storey in a and g, with sturdy, simplified construction and compact internal spaces that favor punchy setting over delicate detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, labels, and promotional graphics where the dense weight and italic motion enhance emphasis. It can also work for subheads or callouts in editorial and web layouts when used with generous spacing and sufficient size for clarity.
The overall tone is confident and fast-moving, with a sporty momentum from the forward slant and dense color. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the firm edges and tight proportions make it feel bold, direct, and contemporary.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a forward-leaning, contemporary voice—combining rounded geometric construction with crisp cuts to feel both friendly and forceful in display contexts.
Capitals read as clean and blocky with slight angular inflections at joins, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded logic for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. The glyph set shown maintains a uniform weight and a steady baseline/overshoot behavior, producing strong, even typographic color.
