A heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded geometry and smoothly drawn curves. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with broad counters and soft terminals that keep the dense weight readable. Capitals are compact and sturdy, while lowercase forms lean into simple, single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and open apertures that maintain clarity. Numerals are robust and round, with consistent diagonal stress matching the overall slant and a tight, punchy rhythm in text.
Well suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a bold, kinetic voice is needed. It can also work for packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from compact, high-contrast-on-the-page letterforms, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is confident and athletic, combining a bold, poster-like presence with approachable roundness. Its italic lean adds motion and urgency, making the voice feel active rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed: a strong italic stance paired with rounded, geometric shapes for approachable readability. The goal appears to be a modern display sans that feels energetic and contemporary without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design reads best when set with breathing room: the dark color and compact shapes create strong texture, and the slant amplifies that texture into a dynamic, directional line. Round letters like O/Q and C/G show controlled, circular construction, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) feel firm and stable rather than delicate.
