A slanted, geometric sans with smooth, monoline strokes and broadly circular bowls. Forms lean consistently, with crisp terminals and gently rounded joins that keep the texture even and legible. Counters are open and the curves are generous, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y, X) read sharp and stable. Numerals follow the same rounded construction, with clear, straightforward shapes that match the letterforms’ rhythm.
Well-suited to modern UI/UX typography, dashboards, and app surfaces where a clean sans with added motion helps guide attention. The forward slant and geometric construction also make it effective for branding, packaging, and headline-driven layouts that need a contemporary, energetic voice.
The overall tone feels contemporary and efficient, with a friendly softness from the round geometry and a sense of motion from the forward slant. It reads neutral enough for interface work while still projecting a sporty, energetic character.
Likely designed as a versatile, modern oblique sans that balances geometric clarity with approachable roundness. The aim appears to be a practical, readable workhorse for contemporary design systems, with just enough slant to add momentum and emphasis in display use.
Uppercase proportions feel compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains an even, workmanlike cadence in text. The oblique angle is noticeable but controlled, preserving clarity in dense settings and helping headings feel more active without becoming decorative.
