A slanted, heavy sans with rounded joins and smooth, continuous curves. The strokes are broadly even, with only subtle modulation, and the terminals tend to be clean and slightly softened rather than sharply cut. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with wide, open counters in letters like O, D, P, and e, and a consistent oblique angle across both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, stable ascenders/descenders that keep word shapes tight and readable, while numerals are simple, robust, and clearly differentiated.
Well-suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and energetic campaigns where a sense of speed is beneficial. It can also work on packaging and short bursts of UI or signage text, especially where a friendly but assertive typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, suggesting motion and momentum. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable and friendly, while the strong weight gives it a confident, headline-ready presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, motion-oriented sans for display use, combining a strong presence with rounded, accessible shapes. The consistent slant and compact rhythm suggest an emphasis on punchy, dynamic wordmarks and attention-grabbing typographic layouts.
The slant is pronounced enough to read as intentionally italic rather than merely oblique, and spacing appears comfortably open for a heavy style, helping prevent dark clumping in text. The design leans toward a geometric construction, but with softened details that avoid a cold, rigid feel.
