This typeface is a slanted, monoline sans with a clean geometric backbone and broadly rounded curves. Strokes are smooth and even, with open counters and simplified joins that keep forms crisp at display sizes. Uppercase letters feel compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, contemporary rhythm with a single-storey “a” and “g” and minimal, functional terminals. Numerals are clear and fairly uniform in color, with rounded shapes (notably 0, 8, 9) that match the overall circular construction.
It performs best in headlines, short statements, and brand marks where the oblique stance can add motion and emphasis. The even stroke weight and open shapes also make it suitable for UI labels, signage-style callouts, and packaging text where a clean, contemporary impression is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-leaning, combining a modern, practical clarity with a distinctly sporty momentum. It reads confident and direct, with a no-nonsense simplicity that suits contemporary branding and promotional settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern sans voice with built-in emphasis through a consistent slant, balancing geometric roundness with straightforward letterforms for clarity and impact.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, creating a cohesive rightward flow in text. Curvature is generous but controlled, avoiding decorative quirks and keeping the silhouette smooth and efficient.
