A rounded geometric sans with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from broad, near-circular bowls with open apertures, while terminals are clean and unadorned. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly wide in their round letters, with straightforward construction in strokes like E, F, and T; the S and G show generous curvature and clear internal spacing. Lowercase keeps an even rhythm with a compact, steady x-height and simple, single-storey shapes where applicable (notably the a and g), plus a clean, unobtrusive t and a straight, italicized axis in i and l. Numerals follow the same oblique, geometric logic, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) and angled strokes (1, 4, 7) that read clearly as a set.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short-to-medium display text where the slanted stance can add momentum. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from a clean, rounded sans with a modern voice and clear numerals.
The overall tone is contemporary and energetic, combining a friendly roundness with forward motion from the italic slant. It reads as crisp and purposeful rather than decorative, lending a sporty, tech-adjacent character to headlines and short messages.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with an italicized, kinetic feel, balancing approachable round forms with crisp, utilitarian construction for clear display use.
Spacing appears moderately open, helping counters stay legible in both uppercase and lowercase. The oblique angle is consistent across letters and figures, giving text a unified, flowing texture without strong calligraphic modulation.
