A heavy, oblique sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and curves read as circular/elliptical rather than calligraphic. The italics are strongly slanted, producing a forward-leaning rhythm, while counters stay open and clean. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, and the lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g) with simple, functional terminals. Figures are similarly robust and rounded, matching the letterforms in weight and curvature.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its weight and slant can deliver punchy emphasis. It works well for headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and bold UI/wayfinding labels where immediacy and clarity are priorities.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable rather than harsh, balancing strength with friendliness. The result feels contemporary and high-impact, suitable for attention-grabbing typography.
This design appears intended to provide a modern, high-impact oblique sans for display typography, combining geometric roundness with a strong forward slant to communicate speed and confidence while staying approachable.
The strong slant and wide set create a pronounced horizontal drive, with large curves and thick joins that emphasize mass over finesse. At larger sizes the shapes feel smooth and stable, and the consistent stroke treatment helps maintain an even texture across mixed-case text and numerals.
