A slanted, monoline sans with rounded construction and softly tapered terminals. The strokes stay consistently heavy and smooth, with minimal contrast and a slightly calligraphic feel created by curved joins and angled cutoffs. Counters are open and generous, while overall proportions are compact with a forward-leaning rhythm. Figures follow the same rounded, sturdy logic, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing UI or signage. Its weight and slant help it stand out, while the open shapes keep it readable in larger sizes and punchy layouts.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a sporty forward motion with a friendly softness. It feels contemporary and informal, suited to messaging that wants to sound energetic without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Designed to deliver a bold, modern italic voice with rounded shapes and a clean sans structure, balancing impact with friendliness. The overall intent appears to be a versatile display style that communicates motion and confidence while staying approachable.
The set shows mild width variation across letters, giving headlines a lively texture rather than a rigid, uniform strip. Round letters (like O/C/G) emphasize smooth curves, while diagonals and angled terminals reinforce the italic movement and a slightly “hand-tuned” finish.
