A rounded, slanted sans with monoline strokes and corners softened into superelliptical curves. Many terminals resolve into pill-like ends, and counters are compact and smoothly rounded, giving letters a slightly condensed, streamlined feel while maintaining clear internal space. The rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with simplified, geometric construction and a consistent softness across straights, arcs, and joins. Figures match the letterforms’ rounded geometry, with oval bowls and uniform stroke behavior.
Well suited to branding systems that want a friendly, contemporary voice, as well as headlines, posters, and packaging where rounded geometry can signal approachability. It can also work in short UI labels and buttons, especially where a soft, sporty feel is desired, though longer passages will read best with generous spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a retro-futuristic smoothness with a sporty, go-forward attitude. Its rounded geometry reads as friendly and informal rather than corporate or austere, making the texture feel warm and inviting even in dense lines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans that feels warmer and more characterful through superelliptical rounding and an integrated slant, balancing clarity with a distinctly playful, kinetic texture.
The italic slant is integral to the design rather than a mere oblique, and the rounded terminals help maintain legibility by keeping shapes open and uncluttered. Uppercase forms appear compact and simplified, while lowercase maintains a clear, modern geometric logic with soft joins and minimal stroke modulation.
