A slanted sans with a smooth, geometric construction and sturdy, even stroke weight. Curves are broadly rounded and fairly closed, while terminals stay clean and uncluttered, giving the letters a compact, efficient footprint. Uppercase forms read as streamlined and slightly condensed in feel, and the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear, simple bowls and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded logic, with a consistent slant and solid silhouettes that hold up well at display sizes.
Works best in headlines, posters, and brand marks where a fast, assertive tone is desired. It also suits packaging and product titling that benefits from a clean, modern italic emphasis, and can fit sports- and tech-adjacent identity work where motion and impact matter.
The overall tone is energetic and directional, with the slant creating a sense of motion and urgency. Its straightforward geometry keeps the voice contemporary and practical rather than decorative, projecting confidence and speed.
Likely designed to provide a strong, modern italic voice with a streamlined geometric skeleton and high legibility in larger sizes. The emphasis appears to be on punchy, contemporary display use while keeping forms simple and consistent.
The slant is pronounced enough to be a defining feature, and the spacing looks tuned for punchy lines and headings. Round letters (like O/C/G) appear robust and smooth, while diagonals (like V/W/X/Y) reinforce the forward-leaning, athletic cadence.
