A heavy, oblique sans with rounded geometry and smooth, continuous curves. The strokes are monolinear in feel, with softened terminals and gently squared corners that keep the forms compact and sturdy. Counters are open and largely circular/elliptical (notably in O/o and 8), while joins stay clean and mechanical rather than calligraphic. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm reads slightly compressed by the strong slant and broad curves, giving a forward-leaning, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting sizes such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics where a bold, kinetic voice is desired. It can also work for UI or wayfinding accents when used sparingly, benefiting from its clear rounded forms and consistent oblique stance.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a streamlined, athletic flavor. Its rounded construction keeps it approachable and contemporary, while the strong slant adds motion and urgency that feels suited to action-oriented messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, motion-driven sans that pairs sturdy weight with friendly rounded construction. It emphasizes immediacy and impact while keeping letterforms simple and highly legible at display sizes.
The numerals appear wide and stable with prominent curves, matching the letterforms’ rounded construction. Uppercase shapes maintain consistent weight and spacing, and the oblique angle is uniform across caps, lowercase, and figures for a cohesive voice.
