A slanted sans with a geometric backbone and smooth, rounded curves throughout. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a firm, even color in text. Letterforms are notably broad with open apertures and generous interior spaces, while terminals are mostly clean and straight-cut rather than calligraphic. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and simplified, and the lowercase maintains a clear, contemporary construction with a single-storey “a” and “g” and compact, rounded bowls. Figures are large and rounded, matching the alphabet’s wide proportions and steady rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its wide proportions and oblique energy can read at a glance—such as headlines, brand wordmarks, posters, and promotional graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a clean, modern tone is desired and space allows for its broader set width.
The overall tone is modern and forward-leaning, with a purposeful, kinetic feel. Its broad stance and steady weight communicate confidence and clarity, giving it a sporty, headline-friendly presence without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, motion-oriented sans that feels assertive and legible, pairing geometric simplicity with an italic stance for emphasis and momentum.
The italic angle is consistent and gives both caps and lowercase a unified sense of motion. Spacing appears even and text holds together cleanly in the sample, with rounded forms (C, O, Q, 0, 8) setting a soft geometric character against sharper diagonals (A, V, W, X).
