A slanted sans with broad, clean strokes and smoothly rounded bowls. Letterforms lean consistently to the right, with simple geometric construction and minimal stroke modulation. Curves are generous and open, while terminals are mostly clean and slightly softened, giving a crisp yet approachable texture. The lowercase is compact and steady with a single-storey “a” and “g,” and the numerals follow the same forward-leaning, streamlined rhythm.
Best suited to branding and headline work where a sense of motion and modernity is helpful. It can also perform well on posters, packaging, and product graphics that need a clean, energetic voice, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and active, with an assertive forward motion that reads as sporty and upbeat. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice friendly rather than severe, making it feel contemporary and approachable even in heavier settings.
Likely designed to provide a straightforward, geometric italic that signals speed and confidence while staying broadly legible. The intent appears to balance contemporary neutrality with a slight athletic emphasis through consistent slant and rounded construction.
In text, the italic angle and sturdy shapes create a strong, even color and quick horizontal momentum. Wide, circular capitals (notably C, O, Q) contrast with narrower diagonals (V, W, X), adding a subtle dynamic cadence without introducing decorative detail.
