A slanted, heavy sans with smooth, rounded curves and a largely geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal visible contrast, giving the forms a solid, uniform color on the page. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. The uppercase leans toward compact, sturdy proportions, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a with simplified, contemporary shapes; figures are similarly robust and clear.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at larger sizes where its weight and slant can carry impact—headlines, brand marks, product naming, posters, and energetic marketing layouts. It can also work for UI accents, badges, and callouts where a bold, forward-moving emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that reads as active and confident. Its dense, dark texture and streamlined geometry suggest modern utility with a slightly sporty, headline-driven attitude.
This design appears intended to deliver high-impact, modern readability with a strong sense of motion. The combination of heavy strokes, rounded geometry, and consistent slant supports attention-grabbing typography that remains clean and broadly legible.
The italic angle is noticeable across both cases and numerals, creating strong directional rhythm in words. Round letters (O, C, G) keep a smooth, controlled curvature, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sturdy and emphatic, reinforcing an energetic, display-leaning voice.
