A slanted, heavy sans with smooth, rounded curves and clean, fully closed counters. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are crisp but not sharp, giving the letters a polished, contemporary finish. Proportions skew slightly compact, with wide bowls in forms like O/C and sturdy joins in N/M/W; the overall rhythm is steady and dense, keeping word shapes cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, and short blocks of promotional copy where a strong, slanted voice is desirable. It can work for subheads and callouts in UI or editorial layouts when used with comfortable spacing, especially in applications that benefit from a dynamic, contemporary tone.
The overall tone is forward-leaning and assertive, conveying speed and momentum without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, balancing a technical, modern feel with a friendly softness.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic, modern sans voice with an oblique stance and sturdy construction, prioritizing impact and clarity in display and branding contexts.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines of text read as a unified texture. Numerals appear sturdy and legible with simple, open shapes suited to emphasis and signage-style settings.
