A slanted sans with sturdy, uniform strokes and broadly rounded curves. Letterforms are built from simple geometric shapes, with circular bowls and smooth joins that keep counters open and legible. The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward-leaning rhythm, while terminals are clean and largely unadorned. Overall proportions feel balanced and compact, with steady spacing that supports strong word shapes in text.
Well suited to headlines, branding, and promotional typography where a strong, forward-leaning voice is useful. It can also serve in short-to-medium text settings such as signage and UI labels when a firm, energetic emphasis is desired.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, contemporary feel driven by the consistent slant and solid weight. It reads as confident and functional rather than decorative, suggesting speed and momentum while staying straightforward and familiar.
The design appears intended as a practical, modern sans with an italicized, performance-oriented stance. It prioritizes clarity and consistent geometry while adding urgency through its pronounced slant and solid presence.
Capitals have clear, simple silhouettes with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the lowercase maintains a cohesive, slightly rounded texture. Numerals are sturdy and highly readable, matching the letterforms in stroke weight and slant for a unified typographic color.
