A slanted, sans-derived design with calligraphic influence, showing tapered strokes and sharp, chiseled terminals rather than true serifs. Curves are clean and open, with a forward-leaning rhythm and slightly varying stroke behavior that gives letterforms a lively, hand-drawn flavor while remaining structurally consistent. Uppercase proportions feel streamlined and modern, while the lowercase introduces more personality through angled joins, a lively "a" and "g," and narrow, energetic diagonals in letters like k, v, w, and x. Figures follow the same slanted construction, mixing smooth curves with pointed entry and exit cuts for a cohesive texture in text.
Well suited to branding and display settings where a sense of speed and personality is helpful—such as headlines, posters, packaging, or energetic editorial treatments. It can also work for short to medium text when you want an informal, contemporary voice, though its distinctive terminals and slanted rhythm will remain a prominent part of the overall look.
The font reads as brisk and confident, with a sporty, contemporary tone. Its forward slant and crisp terminals add urgency and motion, while the humanist construction keeps it approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to blend sans clarity with a calligraphic, forward-leaning gesture, creating an italicized, dynamic voice without relying on traditional serif forms. Its consistent slant and tapered cuts suggest a focus on movement, emphasis, and modern character for attention-driven typography.
In the text sample, the slant and pointed terminals create a distinct texture that stands out in headlines and short passages. The design’s sharper cuts and tapering can make it feel more expressive than a typical neutral sans, especially at larger sizes where the stroke endings and diagonal stress are most visible.
