A heavy oblique sans with rounded, slightly squared-off curves and clean, unmodulated strokes. The letters lean forward with a consistent slant, using wide bowls and open apertures that keep forms readable despite the weight. Terminals are mostly flat and decisively cut, giving a crisp silhouette, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals) stay smooth and even. Proportions feel moderately compact with sturdy stems and a steady rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for large-size applications such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and brand wordmarks where its slanted weight can project motion and impact. It also works well for packaging callouts, labels, and sports or tech-themed graphics that benefit from a strong, energetic voice. For longer text, it’s likely most comfortable in short bursts—pull quotes, subheads, and emphasis—where density and speed are an advantage.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning motion that suggests speed and momentum. Its dense black presence reads as confident and attention-grabbing, suited to messages that need to feel immediate and bold. The rounded construction softens the aggression slightly, keeping it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern display voice built from clean geometric shapes, emphasizing momentum through a consistent oblique stance. Its heavy strokes and simplified forms prioritize immediate visibility and strong graphic presence, making it a practical choice for punchy messaging and identity work.
Uppercase forms are strong and geometric, while lowercase maintains simple, single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) that reinforce a straightforward, contemporary feel. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with large counters and clear differentiation, making them effective in display settings where quick recognition matters.
