A slanted, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) bowls and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with clean terminals and a slightly condensed, forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and engineered, while the lowercase is built around large counters and a tall x-height that keeps words open and readable. Numerals follow the same rounded geometry and feel consistent in color and spacing across lines.
Well suited to interface text, labels, and wayfinding where a modern slanted sans can add momentum without sacrificing clarity. It also fits branding, packaging, and promotional headlines that benefit from a streamlined, sporty character, and it can carry short-to-medium passages when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is contemporary and kinetic, with an athletic, forward-moving posture. Its rounded geometry softens the voice while maintaining a precise, utilitarian feel, suggesting speed, efficiency, and modern product design.
The design appears intended to combine a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton with an italicized stance for a sense of motion and modernity. It prioritizes consistent color, open counters, and a distinctive superelliptical silhouette to stand out while remaining broadly practical.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show squarish curves rather than pure circles, creating a distinctive superellipse texture. The italics are expressed as a true slant with unified construction rather than calligraphic modulation, which helps the face stay crisp in dense settings.
