A slanted sans with thick, even strokes and smooth, rounded joins. The letterforms lean consistently forward, with simple geometric construction and open counters that keep shapes clear at display sizes. Curves are broadly circular (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y feel crisp and energetic. Spacing reads comfortable and even, and the figures are sturdy and highly legible, with straightforward, contemporary forms.
Well-suited to branding and campaign work that needs motion and emphasis, as well as posters, headlines, and short subheads where the slant adds momentum. The sturdy construction also makes it a good option for signage and sporty or tech-adjacent identity systems where clarity and impact are priorities.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a practical sans foundation with an energetic forward lean. It feels contemporary and active, with a friendly approachability coming from its rounded curves and uncomplicated shapes.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-impact sans italic that reads quickly and projects energy. Its geometric simplicity and consistent stroke weight suggest an intention to balance strong presence with straightforward legibility in prominent, attention-driven typography.
Uppercase forms are wide and stable with rounded bowls, while the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel in key letters (such as a and g), reinforcing an informal, modern voice. The italic slant is strong enough to signal motion without becoming cursive, and terminals generally stay clean and uncluttered.
