A sharply slanted, airy sans with wide, elliptical bowls and a crisp, high-contrast stroke rhythm. Curves dominate the construction (notably in C/O/Q and the lowercase a/e), while diagonals are long and clean, giving the alphabet a stretched, aerodynamic profile. Terminals tend to taper to fine points, and joins are smooth and understated, keeping the overall texture light and uncluttered. Figures are similarly streamlined, with flowing shapes and an italicized momentum that matches the letters.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging where its wide, slanted silhouettes can set a strong tone. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, especially when generous tracking and leading are available.
The tone is sleek and energetic, with a slightly futuristic, performance-oriented feel. Its pronounced slant and wide proportions suggest speed and modernity, while the refined contrast and clean shapes keep it polished rather than playful.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, speed-forward italic voice with refined curves and a clean sans foundation. Its wide, elliptical geometry and tapered detailing prioritize distinctive silhouette and stylish motion over dense, text-first neutrality.
The design reads most distinctive in larger sizes where the thin hairlines and pointed terminals remain clear. The spacing and letterforms create an even, gliding rhythm, with open apertures that help preserve clarity despite the strong slant.
