A clean oblique sans with a geometric backbone and softly rounded curves. Strokes stay even and steady, with smooth bowls and open counters that keep the texture light and readable. Terminals are mostly crisp and straight-cut, while curves remain generous; the result is a balanced mix of sharpness and softness. Uppercase forms look sturdy and simplified, and the lowercase is compact and rhythmic with a single-storey “g” and plain, utilitarian shapes.
Well-suited to branding and headline settings where an energetic oblique voice helps establish momentum. It can also work for short-to-medium UI labels, product graphics, and promotional typography where clarity is needed but a neutral upright tone would feel too static.
The overall tone feels modern, active, and matter-of-fact—more performance-oriented than decorative. Its slant adds forward motion, giving copy a subtle sense of speed and emphasis without becoming flamboyant.
Designed to deliver a modern, forward-leaning sans presence that reads cleanly while signaling motion. The forms prioritize straightforward construction and consistent rhythm, aiming for versatile display and interface use with a sporty edge.
The numeral set reads cleanly and simply, with rounded figures and a clear, open “0” alongside a straightforward “1.” The oblique angle is consistent across cases, and the curves (notably in C, G, O/Q, and S) stay smooth and controlled, supporting a tidy, contemporary rhythm in longer lines.
