A slanted, geometric sans with smooth, rounded curves and crisp terminals. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous sidebearings, giving the alphabet an open, airy rhythm. Strokes maintain an even thickness with little visible modulation, and counters tend to be wide and uncluttered for clarity. The design balances circular forms (notably in O/Q/0 and rounded lowercase bowls) with sharp diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and the figures, producing a taut, forward-leaning texture in text.
Well suited to branding systems, headlines, and short-to-medium text where a fast, modern tone is desired. The open spacing and simple shapes work well for interface labels, wayfinding-style callouts, and sports or automotive-inspired graphics, especially when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and contemporary, with a streamlined, in-motion feel typical of oblique display and UI sans styles. It reads as confident and efficient rather than decorative, suggesting speed, technology, and modern branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, modern sans voice with an inherent sense of motion through its consistent slant and broad proportions. Its restrained stroke behavior and geometric construction suggest a focus on versatility for contemporary communication rather than ornament.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings feel unified. Distinctive diagonals in the capitals and a clean, straightforward figure set keep the voice pragmatic, while rounded bowls prevent the texture from feeling overly harsh.
