A slanted, sans serif design with smooth, rounded curves and largely uniform stroke thickness. Letterforms are built from broad elliptical shapes with open apertures and generous internal counters, giving the face a clear, breathable texture. Terminals are clean and predominantly rounded, while the overall rhythm feels steady and slightly forward-leaning; widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph, adding a natural, flowing cadence in text.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and short to medium-length text where an energetic slant and clean geometry can add emphasis. It can work effectively in branding, posters, sports or tech-adjacent marketing, and editorial callouts where clarity and momentum are both desirable.
The overall tone is contemporary and energetic, with a crisp, no-nonsense feel softened by rounded geometry. The consistent slant lends a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel confident and active without becoming aggressive or decorative.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary italic for emphasis and display, combining clean sans construction with rounded, approachable forms. Its measured slant and open counters suggest a focus on readability while still delivering a sense of speed and modernity.
Capitals are sturdy and compact with smooth curves (notably in C/O/Q), while the lowercase maintains straightforward constructions and clear differentiation. Numerals follow the same rounded, uniform-stroke logic and read cleanly at display sizes, matching the letterforms’ forward-leaning posture.
