A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are broadly uniform with softened corners, creating sturdy silhouettes and clear counters. The italics are driven by a consistent forward slant and slightly dynamic, sweeping terminals, while letterspacing and proportions stay compact enough to read as a cohesive block. Numerals and capitals appear wide and stable, with open forms and strong horizontal/vertical presence despite the slant.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, italicized presence communicates motion and confidence. It also fits sports and active-lifestyle graphics, packaging callouts, and short display copy where bold shapes and rounded geometry need to stay legible at a glance.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, suggesting speed and momentum without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable and contemporary, making the boldness feel friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a modern display sans that combines strong weight with an italic stance to create immediate impact. Rounded forms and even stroke behavior suggest a goal of broad usability in contemporary, energetic identities rather than delicate editorial typography.
The slant is prominent enough to read as a stylistic feature, not just emphasis, and it gives repeated shapes (like rounds and bowls) a rhythmic, streamlined flow. The design favors clean, simple joins and avoids fussy detail, which helps it hold up in large, high-impact settings.
