A rounded, geometric sans with an oblique slant and sturdy, even stroke weight. Curves are prominent and smoothly drawn, with generous counters and softened corners that keep dense shapes from feeling harsh. The uppercase is wide and steady, while the lowercase shows a large x-height and compact ascenders/descenders for a strong, continuous text color. Terminals tend to look sheared or angled with the slant, and several glyphs feature distinctive cut-ins and openings that add character without breaking overall consistency.
Works best in headlines, short blurbs, and brand statements where the oblique stance and rounded geometry can carry personality. It’s well-suited to sporty identities, contemporary packaging, event graphics, and bold interface moments such as hero banners or feature callouts.
The tone is energetic and contemporary, blending friendly roundness with a forward-leaning, motion-driven feel. Its forms suggest speed and approachability at the same time, reading as confident and “active” rather than formal. The styling leans toward a modern, slightly tech/sport sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern sans voice that feels fast and friendly, using rounded construction and a consistent slant to create momentum and strong visual presence. Its proportions and large lowercase presence aim for quick recognition and a solid typographic block in display settings.
Figures are heavy and rounded with clear silhouettes, suited to punchy display use. The rhythm is tight and cohesive, and the oblique angle is consistent across letters and numerals, giving lines a strong directional flow.
