A rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and sturdy, even stroke weight. Letterforms are built from soft curves and broad, slightly squared terminals, producing a smooth, contemporary texture. Counters are open and generous (notably in C, O, e, and a), and the overall rhythm is steady with uncomplicated joins and minimal detailing. Figures are clear and compact, with round shapes emphasized in 0, 8, and 9 and straightforward diagonals in 4 and 7.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a strong, forward-leaning voice is desirable—brand marks, campaign graphics, posters, packaging, and signage. The open apertures and rounded construction also make it a good fit for UI labels and callouts when a lively, friendly emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, combining a sporty forward motion with approachable rounded shapes. It feels contemporary and practical, projecting confidence without becoming harsh or technical.
The design appears intended to provide a modern italic voice that remains clear and sturdy, emphasizing rounded geometry and open counters for legibility while using a consistent slant to add momentum and personality.
Uppercase forms read cleanly at distance, while the lowercase maintains strong differentiation through simple, open constructions (single-storey a and g are apparent). The slant is consistent across letters and numerals, helping headlines feel cohesive and dynamic.
