A slanted sans with a sturdy, even stroke and rounded, geometric construction. Curves are smooth and broadly circular, with generous counters in letters like O, P, and R, and clean, open joins that keep the forms from clogging at heavier sizes. Terminals are mostly flat and crisp, while bowls and shoulders stay soft, creating a consistent, modern rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The overall texture is compact and energetic, with a forward lean and slightly varied character widths that add momentum in text.
Well-suited to headlines, short blocks of display text, and branding where a forward-leaning, energetic sans is desirable. It can also work for signage, packaging, and promotional graphics that benefit from bold, rounded forms and clear letter separation at a range of sizes.
The tone reads active and confident, with a contemporary, no-nonsense feel. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the italic slant adds speed and emphasis, lending a sporty, promotional energy.
The design appears intended as a modern, performance-leaning sans that balances impact with approachable geometry. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded construction aim for clarity and punch in display settings while keeping the letterforms familiar and readable.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and high-clarity, with simple diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y and a clean, circular C/G language. Lowercase maintains a single-storey, geometric feel in key shapes (notably a and g), supporting a modern, utilitarian voice. Numerals follow the same rounded logic with clear differentiation and strong readability.
