A rounded, oblique sans with smooth, continuous curves and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms lean forward with a consistent slant and generally open, readable counters. Terminals are mostly softened rather than sharply cut, and many shapes (notably the bowls and curves) feel constructed from broad ellipses, giving a cohesive, circular rhythm. Uppercase forms are clean and sturdy, while lowercase shows single-story a and g and a compact, energetic texture; figures are straightforward and highly legible with generous interior space.
Well-suited to branding, headlines, and poster work where a dynamic, contemporary voice is needed. It also fits sports and lifestyle applications, packaging, and social graphics, and can handle short-to-medium text where an energetic, rounded italic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and modern, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and momentum. Rounded construction keeps it approachable and friendly, while the firm stroke presence reads confident and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, motion-driven sans voice with friendly rounded geometry. Its consistent oblique rhythm and open internal shapes aim to balance impact with clarity in display-forward settings.
The italic slant is integral to the design rather than a simple skew, with curves and joins that maintain smoothness under the angle. Spacing appears comfortable for display and short text, producing a bold, punchy line when set in sentences.
