A rounded geometric sans with an oblique (italic) construction and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves dominate the design—round bowls, circular counters, and softened joins—while straight stems and diagonals keep a clean, contemporary skeleton. The letterforms show open apertures and generous internal space, giving the text an airy, readable rhythm. Overall proportions feel balanced, with consistent stroke weight and a lively slant that adds motion without becoming calligraphic.
Well-suited to branding systems, headlines, and short-to-medium text where a warm, modern tone is desired. The rounded geometry and open counters also make it a solid choice for UI labels, product packaging, and promotional graphics that benefit from an energetic, friendly slant.
The font reads as friendly and contemporary, with a sporty, energetic lean. Its rounded forms and soft endings make it feel approachable and informal, while the clean geometry keeps it crisp enough for modern branding and interface use.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with a softened, more personable voice, using rounded shapes and an oblique posture to convey speed and approachability. It aims for clean readability while adding a distinctive, contemporary personality through its consistent slant and smooth, circular construction.
The oblique angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the numerals share the same rounded, geometric logic. Circular forms like O/0 are very round, while letters such as a, e, and s keep smooth, compact curves that maintain even color in paragraphs.
