A slanted sans with a geometric backbone and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are monolinear with clean terminals and a steady rhythm, giving the face a compact, forward-leaning texture in text. Counters are open and circular, and curves (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p/q) read as built from simple arcs and near-circles. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in presence, while lowercase shows a tidy, contemporary construction; the single-storey a and g reinforce the geometric, simplified draw. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with rounded forms and straightforward diagonals, keeping the set consistent in tone.
Works well for headlines, short statements, and branding where a sense of movement and modernity is desired. The clean construction and open counters also support UI labels, signage-style copy, and promotional materials where clarity at medium-to-large sizes matters.
The overall tone is modern and energetic, with the italic slant adding motion and assertiveness. It reads as practical and confident rather than decorative, suggesting a contemporary, performance-oriented feel suitable for attention-grabbing headlines without becoming flashy.
Likely designed as a contemporary italic companion with a geometric, streamlined construction, aiming to deliver a crisp, energetic voice while maintaining straightforward readability. The simplified lowercase forms and consistent slant point to a utilitarian display-text role with a modern, sporty edge.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the shapes stay visually even in weight and curve tension. Letterforms favor simplicity and legibility over quirky details, resulting in a clean, uniform voice across the sample text.
