A slanted sans with thick, even strokes and generously rounded corners, giving most letters a smooth, superelliptical feel. Curves are broad and stable, transitions are clean, and terminals tend to finish with softened, slightly squared-off endings rather than sharp points. The lowercase shows compact, single-storey forms (notably a and g), with open counters and sturdy joins that keep the silhouettes strong at display sizes. Numerals are similarly rounded and solid, matching the letterforms’ weight and rhythm for a consistent texture across mixed text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the weight and slant can communicate momentum—brand marks, advertising headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and wayfinding/signage. It can also work for UI accents or labels where a bold, friendly emphasis is needed, though its pronounced slant makes it less neutral for long reading.
The overall tone is active and contemporary, with an assertive forward lean that reads as energetic and sporty. Rounded geometry softens the impact, adding approachability and a friendly, consumer-facing feel rather than a severe or technical one.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, forward-moving typography using rounded-rectangle geometry and a consistent stroke to stay legible while feeling modern and dynamic.
The italic construction is built into the design rather than being a simple shear, producing cohesive diagonals in letters like v, w, x, and y. Round letters (o, e, c) stay roomy and legible, while straighter forms (E, F, T, L) retain the same softened-corner language to keep the set visually unified.
