A heavy, slanted sans with clean, rounded geometry and consistently thick strokes. Curves are broad and smooth, counters are fairly open, and terminals are predominantly straight-cut, giving the letterforms a crisp finish despite the soft underlying shapes. The italics are constructed rather than cursive, maintaining a steady rhythm and strong silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same forward-leaning, sturdy construction with clear, simple forms.
Well-suited to short-to-medium headlines, campaign copy, and branding where a strong, dynamic sans is needed. It will perform best at display sizes for posters, packaging callouts, sports and event graphics, and punchy UI moments such as banners or hero titles where its slant can add motion.
The overall tone is punchy and forward-moving, with a confident, modern feel. Its oblique stance and dense weight project urgency and momentum, leaning toward sporty and promotional voice rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact oblique sans that reads quickly while signaling speed and confidence. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke weight prioritize clarity and brandable presence over delicate detail.
Uppercase forms read as solid and compact with rounded bowls (notably in C/G/O/Q) and a clean, no-nonsense treatment of joins and diagonals. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, reinforcing a functional, contemporary texture in text.
