This typeface is a slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Letterforms lean forward with steady rhythm and fairly uniform curves, producing a clean, contemporary texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with open counters and simplified terminals, while capitals maintain broad, rounded bowls (notably in C, D, O, Q) and straightforward diagonals. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with simple forms that match the same rounded, forward-leaning skeleton.
It suits headlines, branding, and campaign graphics where a clean italic voice can add momentum. The clear numerals and sturdy shapes also work well for sports-oriented design, packaging callouts, and short informational lines that need to feel active and contemporary.
The overall tone feels modern and energetic, with the italic angle adding motion and urgency without becoming decorative. Its rounded geometry reads friendly and approachable, while the firm stroke and compact shaping keep it confident and purposeful.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward sans voice with built-in emphasis, combining geometric roundness with a decisive forward slant. It prioritizes clarity and pace, aiming for a modern look that stays legible while projecting energy.
Round letters stay close to circular, and joins are kept smooth rather than sharp, which helps maintain even color across words. The slant is pronounced enough to read as intentional emphasis, giving headlines and short lines a brisk, forward-driving cadence.
