A heavy, oblique sans with broadly proportioned letterforms and a smooth, rounded construction. Strokes appear largely uniform with minimal contrast, producing a solid, even color in text. Curves are full and clean (notably in C, O, S, and G), while joins and terminals are crisp and streamlined, leaning toward squared cuts rather than soft flares. Counters are generous and apertures stay relatively open, helping maintain clarity despite the weight and slant; lowercase forms keep a familiar, workmanlike skeleton with compact extenders and a single-storey g.
Best suited to headlines, large UI moments, branding, and promotional copy where a bold, fast cadence is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of text—labels, calls to action, and packaging—where its even stroke and open shapes help keep words readable while staying emphatic.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, with a contemporary, performance-oriented feel. Its strong presence reads confident and direct, suited to messaging that wants momentum and immediacy without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact sans that combines strong weight with a steady, neutral construction, using an oblique angle to add motion. It prioritizes bold presence and legibility through open counters and straightforward shapes rather than ornament.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create a pronounced rhythm and strong emphasis, especially in long lines and pangrams. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic and feel built for quick recognition at a glance.
